legumin/トウモロコシ

The presence of legumin-like constituents within the globulin fractions of wheat (Triticum aestivum), rye (Secale cereale) and corn (maize, Zea mays) was demonstrated. Two-dimensional analysis of wheat globulins in the presence and absence of a reducing agent revealed the existence of reducible

While identifying proteins present in the cytoskeleton and protein body fractions from maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm, a 51 kDa protein was discovered in a fraction containing small (approximately 200 nm in diameter) protein bodies. Based on partial amino acid sequences of V8 protease fragments,

Zeins are the major storage proteins in maize (Zea mays) endosperm, and their accumulation in zein bodies derived from the endoplasmic reticulum is well characterized. In contrast, relatively little is known about post-Golgi compartments or the trafficking of vacuolar proteins in maize endosperm,

Zeins, the prolamin storage proteins found in maize (Zea mays), accumulate in accretions called protein bodies inside the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of starchy endosperm cells. We found that genes encoding zeins, α-globulin, and legumin-1 are transcribed not only in the starchy endosperm but also in
