lupinus stipulatus/protease

The coffee berry borer Hypothenemus hampei is a pest that causes great economic damage to coffee grains worldwide. Because the proteins consumed are digested by aspartic proteases in the insect's midgut, the inhibition of these proteases by transferring a gene encoding an aspartic protease inhibitor

The coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari), is one of the most devastating coffee pests (Coffea arabica L.) worldwide. Digestion in the midgut of H. hampei is facilitated by aspartic proteases. This is the first report of an aspartic protease inhibitor from Lupinus bogotensis. The L.

Activities of protein-inhibitors of proteases and their correlation with the total content of protein and alkaloids in yellow and white lupine seeds were studied. Yellow lupine seeds showed lowe activities of protein-inhibitors. They also displayed negative correlation between activities of

A protease, present in Lupinus angustifolius cotyledons on the fifth day after germination and assayable by following the release of amino groups from gliadin has been purified to the degree that the associated protein of the extract is undetectable. The enzyme is capable, under varying conditions,

This study investigated the nutritional value (digestibility of ileal crude protein and amino acids (AAs)) and the AME_N value of legumes (pea, faba bean, yellow lupin, and narrow-leaved lupin) with or without protease.Two hundred, one-day-old, male Ross 308 broiler chickens were randomly

Lupinus albus cell cultures secrete a large set of hydrolases into their medium with a small number of highly abundant proteins. We have investigated the protein composition of the medium with two different methods, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis-electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry

The paper describes the purification, structural characterization and inhibitory properties of a trypsin inhibitor from Lupinus albus L., a leguminous plant believed to be devoid of any protease inhibitor. The protein has been isolated by a newly set-up procedure and characterized by direct amino

The effects of adding crude enzyme preparations to diets containing raw, autoclaved, and dehulled lupin seeds on the performance of broiler and Leghorn chicks (7 to 21 days) were evaluated in five experiments. In the first experiment, enzyme addition (combination of Energex-carbohydrase, Bio-Feed

γ-Conglutin from lupin seeds is an unusual 7S basic globulin protein. It is capable of reducing glycaemia in mammals, but the structural basis of this activity is not known. γ-Conglutin shares a high level of structural homology with glycoside hydrolase inhibitor proteins, although it lacks any kind

The three active forms of beta-cyanoalanine synthase (EC 4.4.1.9) from white lupine seedlings were obtained in a homogeneous state and some physico-chemical and catalytic properties of the enzyme, i.e. isoelectric points, molecular weight, amino acid composition, Km, substrate and cosubstrate

Feeding trials have been done with rats to assess the effects of long-term (700 d) consumption of diets based on raw cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata; moderate Bowman-Birk inhibitor content, low lectin content), lupin seeds (Lupinus angustifolius; low lectin and protease inhibitor content) or soya beans

1. Two experiments with growing broiler chickens were carried out to study the effects of the inclusion in their diets of whole or dehulled lupin (Lupinus angustifolius) seed meal on productive and physiological parameters. The effects of the addition of a commercial protease (1 g/kg, Bio-Feed Pro,

A crude 2S albumin fraction was separated from peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) cotyledons. Untreated 2S albumin had little inhibitory activity against trypsin, spore germination, or hyphal growth of Aspergillus flavus. However, following treatment of 2S albumin with SDS, increased inhibitory activity

Lupinus albus plants can withstand severe drought stress and show signs of recovery 24 h after rewatering (RW). Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was used to evaluate the effect of water deficit (WD) on the protein composition of the two components of the lupin stem (stele and cortex). This was

A novel acyltransferase committed to the final step of quinolizidine alkaloid biosynthesis, tigloyl-CoA:(-)-13alpha-hydroxymultiflorine/(+)-13alpha-hydroxylupanine O-tigloyltransferase, has been purified from Lupinus albus. The internal amino acid sequences were determined with protease-digested
