A novel alpha-amylase inhibitor from amaranth (Amaranthus hypocondriacus) seeds.
The major alpha-amylase inhibitor (AAI) present in the seeds of Amaranthus hypocondriacus, a variety of the Mexican crop plant amaranth, is a 32-residue-long polypeptide with three disulfide bridges. Purified AAI strongly inhibits the alpha-amylase activity of insect larvae (Tribolium castaneum and Prostephanus truncatus) and does not inhibit proteases and mammalian alpha-amylases. AAI was sequ...
متن کاملPurification, characterization, and complete amino acid sequence of a trypsin inhibitor from amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) seeds.
A protein proteinase inhibitor was purified from a seed extract of amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus) by precipitation with (NH4)2SO4, gel-filtration chromatography, ion-exchange chromatography, and reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. It is a 69-amino acid protein with a high content of valine, arginine, and glutamic acid, but lacking in methionine. The inhibitor has a rela...
متن کاملRehydration of Phytochrome in Imbibing Seeds of Amaranthus retroflexus L.
It is commonly recognized that light-sensitive seeds require a period of imbibition before full promotion of germination by a light stimulus can be attained. Yet little work describes the nature of these preliminary events. Of the several major limitations that may be involved, clearly the rehydration (or activation) of phytochrome and the system with which it interacts are the chief ones to co...
متن کاملBiochemical Nature of a Natural α-Amylase Inhibitor from Wild Amaranth (Amaranthus paniculatus) Seeds
Endogenous á-amylase inhibitors exist widely in animals, plants and microorganisms. These inhibitors show remarkable structure variety with different modes of inhibition and specificity against different á-amylases. To explore the alpha-amylase inhibitors in wild amaranth, a novel proteinaceous inhibitor of á-amylase, named WAI-1, was purified and its structure and function were investigated in...
متن کاملGenetic studies for biochemical and quantitative characters in grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.)
Twenty six accessions of grain Amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.) were evaluated for salient biochemical and quantitative traits particularly reference to chlorophyll a and b, total chlorophyll, phenol content, leaf moisture, leaf protein content, test weight and yield plant. Genetic divergence and association among these traits were analysed. Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophy...
