Our results suggest that a rice E3 ligase, OsMAR1, physically interacts with a cytosolic protein OCPI2 and may play an important role under salinity stress. Salt is an important abiotic stressor that negatively affects plant growth phases and alters development. Herein, we found that a
A 20 kDa bifunctional inhibitor of the microbial proteinase, subtilisin, and the alpha-amylase from the larvae of the red flour beetle (Tribolium castaneum) was purified from bran of rice seeds by saline extraction, precipitation with ammonium sulphate, ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Cellulose
Chromatographic separation of soluble proteins from rice (Oryza sativa L.) yielded a major albumin protein (16 kDa), with the DHHQVYSPGEQ sequence in the N terminus, showing antioxidant action. The rice albumin was more potent than other rice proteins in preventing Cu2+-induced low-density
The psbO gene encoding the extrinsic 33 kDa protein of oxygen-evolving photosystem II (PSII) complex was cloned and sequenced from a red alga, Cyanidium caldarium. The gene encodes a polypeptide of 333 residues, of which the first 76 residues served as transit peptides for transfer across the
A full-length cDNA gene, designated Oryza sativa chymotrypsin inhibitor-like 1 (OCPI1), was characterized in rice. The predicted protein of OCPI1 shows very high sequence identity to reported chymotrypsin inhibitors from various plant species. Northern-blot analysis showed that the expression of
Bowman-Birk inhibitor (BBI) genes encode serine protease inhibitors that have repetitive cysteine-rich domains with reactive sites for the trypsin or chymotrypsin family. We have identified seven BBI genes from japonica rice (Oryza sativa subsp. japonica var Teqing). All of the genes identified were
In mammals, hexokinase (HK) is strategically located at the outer membrane of mitochondria bound to the porin protein. The mitochondrial HK is a crucial modulator of apoptosis and reactive oxygen species generation. In plants, these properties related to HK are unknown. In order to better understand
In this study, we synthesized a synthetic serine proteinase inhibitor II gene (sPI-II) that harbored the chymotrypsin and trypsin inhibitor domains of the PI-II gene from Nicotiana alata. In an effort to reduce protease activity in a rice cell suspension culture, we first synthesized sPI-II using
A trypsin inhibitor was isolated and purified from the bran of rice, Oryza sativa, by extraction with 1% sodium chloride, heat treatment, ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange chromatography on a CM-Sephadex C-25 and gel filtration on a Sephadex G-75. The final preparation was homogeneous by
A bifunctional alpha-amylase/subtilisin inhibitor (RASI) was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from rice (Oryza sativa L.) bran. Its molecular mass was 21 kDa by SDS-PAGE and its isoelectric point was 9.05. Purified RASI inhibited subtilisin Carlsberg strongly and inhibited alpha-amylase from
Rice (Oryza sativa) is consumed as a staple food globally, and rice bran, the byproduct, is an unused biomass that is ultimately discarded as waste. Thus, in the present study, a technique for producing tyrosinase inhibitory peptides from rice bran protein (RBP) was developed. Simultaneous treatment
