Harvested fruits are still living organs and respond to environmental stimuli. Low temperature storage is effective in extending life of harvested fruit, but it may also cause chilling injury. Cold acclimation has been shown to induce chilling tolerance in plants, but what proteomic changes caused by cold acclimation are related to defense against chilling stress remains largely unclear. Here, ...

Until recently, storage protein research has been largely restricted to the seed-specific reserve proteins, which provide nutrients to seedlings during their early growth. Their abundance, and the potential for improving seed nutritional quality, were early incentives to investigate seed storage proteins, and they continue to be intensively studied as a plant model for tissue-specific and devel...

introduction: surimi is one of the procedures that nowadays it is suggested to increase the consumption of fish such as silver carp (shabanpour et al., 2008). surimi is washed and minced fish meat myofibrillar concentration of proteins, this would wash out most of the soluble material in surimi (sultanbawa & li- chan, 1998). raw fish freshness and quality of the most important factors affecting...

Most plants synthesise proteins in their organs of reproduction and propagation, such as seeds of gymnosperms and angiosperms. Storage proteins are usually located in two tissues. In dicotyledonous plants they may be located in the diploid cotyledons (exalbuminous}, in the triploid endosperm (albuminous) or, occasionally, in both tissues. In monocotyledonous cereals they are primarily located i...

Classical late-infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (LINCL) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease of children caused by mutations in TPP1, the gene encoding the lysosomal protease tripeptidyl peptidase 1. LINCL is characterized by lysosomal accumulation of storage material of which only a single protein component, subunit c of mitochondrial ATP synthase, has been well established to date. Id...

Cinnamomin is a novel type II ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) isolated in our laboratory from the seed of the camphor tree (Cinnamomum camphora). In this paper the physiological role it plays in the plant cell was studied. Northern and Western blotting revealed that cinnamomin was expressed specifically in cotyledons. It accumulated in large amounts simultaneously with other proteins at the...

Storage proteins account for about 50% of the total protein in mature cereal grains and have important impacts on their nutritional quality for humans and livestock and on their functional properties in food processing. Current knowledge of the structures and properties of the prolamin and globulin storage proteins of cereals and their mechanisms of synthesis, trafficking and deposition in the ...

The protein subunit is the most important basic unit of protein, and its study can unravel the structure and function of seed storage proteins in faba bean. In this study, we identified six specific protein subunits in Faba bean (cv. Qinghai 13) combining liquid chromatography (LC), liquid chromatography-electronic spray ionization mass (LC-ESI-MS/MS) and bio-information technology. The results...

2-D analysis of plant proteomes containing thousands of proteins has limited dynamic resolution because only abundant proteins can be detected. Proteomic assessment of the non-abundant proteins within seeds is difficult when 60-80% is storage proteins. Resolution can be improved through sample fractionation using separation techniques based upon different physiological or biochemical principles...
