The Bowman-Birk inhibitors (BBIs) are well-studied serine protease inhibitors that are abundant in dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants. BBIs from dicots usually have a molecular weight of 8k and are double-headed with two reactive sites, whereas those from monocots can be divided into two
A soybean experimental line (BSH-3) devoid of a subset of seed storage proteins was developed by crossing a mutant donor line "HS99B" with a Chinese cultivar "Dongnong47" (DN47). One-dimensional and high-resolution 2-D gel electrophoresis revealed the absence of G1 (A1aB2), G2 (A2B1a), and G4
Previous studies have demonstrated that the soybean-derived Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor (BBI) is effective as a cancer chemopreventive agent in several animal model systems. Proteases represent a key component of several aspects of immune function; therefore the immune system is a primary target
