We have previously cloned and characterized the cDNAs of three isoforms of the 8S globulin of mungbean, expressed the major 8Salpha isoform in Escherichia coli, and purified and successfully crystallized it (Bernardo, A. E. N.; Garcia, R. N.; Adachi, M.; Angeles, J. G. C.; Kaga, A; Ishimoto, M.; Utsumi, S.; Tecson-Mendoza, E. M. J. Agric. Food Chem. 2004, 52, 2552-2560). Herein, we report the physicochemical and emulsifying properties of the native 8S and recombinant 8Salpha globulin or vicilin. The circular dichroism spectra analysis of the native 8S and recombinant 8Salpha globulins revealed that the recombinant 8Salpha formed a secondary structure close to that of the native 8S. Further, gel filtration analysis showed that 8Salpha was able to assemble into trimers. The native 8S and recombinant 8Salpha globulins were soluble at pH 3.4 and at pH 7.4-9.0 at low ionic strength, mu = 0.08. Interestingly, the native 8S was more soluble at pH 7.0 and pH 7.4 than the recombinant 8Salpha at mu = 0.08. Both forms were very soluble at pH 3.4-9.0 at high ionic strength, mu = 0.50. The native form exhibited a higher T(m) (69.2, 79.5, and 83.8 degrees C) than the recombinant form (65.6, 71.6, 77.5 degrees C) at mu = 0.1, 0.2, and 0.5, respectively. The recombinant form was found to have greater surface hydrophobicity than the native form. There was little difference in the emulsifying ability between the native 8S and 8Salpha at pH 3.4 and pH 7.6. The results indicate that the presence of N-linked glycans is not essential in the assembly and stable conformation of the mungbean vicilin. However, the N-linked glycans might have contributed to the higher solubility at low ionic strength, greater thermal stability, and decreased surface hydrophobicity of the native vicilin as compared to the recombinant 8Salpha. On the other hand, the N-linked glycans showed little effect on the emulsifying ability of the protein.  相似文献

Legume seeds contain 7S and/or 11S globulins as major storage proteins. The amino acid sequences of them from many legumes are similar to each other in the species but different from each other, meaning that some of these proteins from some crops exhibit excellent functional properties. To demonstrate this, we compared protein chemical and functional properties (thermal stability, surface hydrophobicity, solubility as a function of pH, and emulsifying properties) of these proteins from pea, fava bean, cowpea, and French bean with those of soybean as a control at the same conditions. The comparison clearly indicated that the 7S globulin of French bean exhibited excellent solubility (100%) at pH 4.2-7.0 even at a low ionic strength condition (mu = 0.08) and excellent emulsion stability (a little phase separation after 3 days) at pH 7.6 and mu = 0.08, although the emulsions from most of the other proteins separated in 1 h. These results indicate that our assumption is correct.  相似文献

This study describes the relationship between the solubility of glycinin, a major soy protein, and its structural properties at a quaternary, tertiary, and secondary folding level under conditions representative for food products. When the ionic strength is lowered from 0.5 to 0.2 or 0.03, the basic polypeptides shift more to the exterior of the glycinin complex, as determined at pH 7.6 by labeling solvent-exposed lysines, supported by the study of the proteolytic action of clostripain on glycinin. This structural reorganization caused the pH of minimal solubility to shift to higher values. Ultracentrifugational analysis shows that at pH 7.6 and an ionic strength of 0.5 glycinin forms hexameric complexes (11S), whereas at pH 3.8 and at an ionic strength of 0.03 glycinin exists as trimers (7S). Intermediate situations are obtained by modulation of pH and ionic strength. The observed quaternary dissociation correlates with an increased amount of nonstructured protein at a secondary level and with changes in tertiary folding as determined using circular dichroism. Tryptophan fluorescence shows no significant structural changes for different ionic strengths but demonstrates a more tightly packed fluorophore environment when the pH is lowered from 7.6 to 3.8.  相似文献

Emulsifying properties of native and chemically modified soy glycinins were studied. The influence of ionic strength, protein sample composition and concentration, and assay conditions on the flocculation-creaming process and coalescence resistance was analyzed. Differences in these emulsifying properties were exhibited by native glycinins, which have a variable content of 4S, 11S, and 15S forms. Structure and functionality of native glycinin were modified by means of combined treatments: mild acidic treatments without heating or with heating at variable time and with or without disulfide bonds reduction. Modified glycinins presented different degrees of deamidation, surface hydrophobicity, and molecular mass. A slight enhancement of emulsifying stability at moderated deamidation degrees was observed. In different protein samples, a positive relationship between the flocculation-creaming rate constant and equilibrium oil volume fraction of emulsions with surface hydrophobicity was detected. A remarkable difference was observed between reduced and nonreduced samples, mainly with respect to behavior at low or high ionic strength.  相似文献

Beta-conglycinin, one of the dominant storage proteins of soybean, has a trimeric structure, being composed of three subunits alpha, alpha', and beta. The alpha and alpha' subunits contain the extension regions in addition to the core regions common to all subunits, which are N-glycosylated. Physicochemical functions of recombinant nonglycosylated individual subunits and deletion mutants (alpha(c) and alpha'(c)) lacking the extension regions of the alpha and alpha' subunits were examined at pH 7.6 and 3.7 at low (mu = 0.08) and high (mu = 0.5) ionic strengths. Although individual recombinant subunits exhibited different properties at all conditions, there were some consistencies. Surface hydrophobicities and thermal stabilities of the individual subunits were likely to be conferred by their core regions, and the carbohydrate moieties did not contribute to these properties at any conditions examined here. Solubility at mu = 0.08, heat-induced association, and emulsifying ability remarkably depended on the extension regions and the carbohydrate moieties in addition to the structural features of the core regions. These findings indicate that various end products could be produced by the selection of soybean varieties containing beta-conglycinin with different subunit compositions and suggest a direction for a principle of soybean breeding.  相似文献

The seed of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) is rich in protein and the amino acid profiles of the meal are suitable for human dietary products, but little is known about the structure and chemical properties of the protein extracted from this legume. This study determined the functional properties of two selected cowpea cultivars and their solubility, emulsifying capacity, surface hydrophobicity, and thermal stability. Seeds of red and black cowpea were surface sterilized and the 7s globulin was isolated and purified using column chromatography with Sephacryl S‐300 (Hi‐Prep 26/60) gel column. Also, SDS‐PAGE and protein structure were analyzed using biochemical procedures. At high ionic strength (μ = 0.5), cowpea 7s globulin fraction exhibited better solubility for a wide range of pH levels, higher emulsifying capacities, and greater thermal stability than those obtained at low ionic strength (μ = 0.08). The lowest solubility was observed at pH 5.3–6.4 at the low ionic strength. Emulsifying capacities at high protein concentration were greater when compared with low protein concentration. Tm values of black cowpea globulin fraction were higher than those of red cowpea globulin fraction, whereas the surface hydrophobicity of the globulin fraction in red cowpea was larger than that in black cowpea.  相似文献

The primary structure of Brassica napus procruciferin 2/3a was engineered to elucidate structure-function relationships and to improve the functionality of cruciferin. The following mutants were constructed: (1) C287T, (2) DeltaII, variable region II was deleted; (3) C287T/DeltaII, mutation involving (1) and (2); (4) DeltaIV + A1aIV; and (5) DeltaIV + A3IV, variable region IV was replaced with variable region IV containing many charged residues from soybean glycinin A1aB1b and A3B4 subunits. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis revealed that the A1aIV region has a more favorable interaction with the procruciferin molecule than does A3IV as well as the original regions. On the basis of heat-induced precipitation analysis, it was concluded that replacement of the free cysteine residue with threonine (C287T) and insertion of charged regions (DeltaIV + A1aIV and DeltaIV + A3IV) could lead procruciferin to form soluble aggregates after heating. Low solubility was observed in mutants DeltaIV + A3IV, DeltaII, and C287T/DeltaII, especially between pH 4 and 6 at mu = 0.08, but not in DeltaIV + A1aIV, indicating that the number of acidic amino acid residues and the high number of glutamine residues are important factors for solubility at mu = 0.08. None of the mutants showed any improvements in emulsifying ability, indicating that destabilization and addition of the hydrophilic region are not effective for emulsification. The insertion of the A1aIV region in procruciferin made the molecule more susceptible to alpha-chymotrypsin.  相似文献

The presence or absence of a highly negatively charged extension region in beta-conglycinin (J. Agric. Food Chem. 1999, 47, 5278) and the length of a highly negatively charged variable region IV in glycinin (J. Agric. Food Chem. 2004, 52, 8197) are important determinants of solubility and emulsifying property. To examine the effects of the variable region IV from proglycinin A1aB1b and A3B4 and of the extension region from beta-conglycinin alpha' (alpha'ext) on solubility and emulsifying properties in detail, several mutants of proglycinin, procruciferin, and beta-conglycinin were designed and prepared in Escherichia coli. Nine out of 10 mutants were expressed at high levels in E. coli and shown to be homotrimer similar to the wild types as assessed by gel filtration. The position of the introduced negatively charged region as well as the amino acid composition were demonstrated to affect solubility at mu = 0.08. All of the proglycinin, procruciferin, and beta-conglycinin mutants with the alpha'ext in the C-terminus, especially the proglycinin mutant, exhibited excellent emulsifying ability and emulsion stability. These indicate that improvement of emulsifying properties by insertion of the alpha'ext in the C-terminus may be generally applicable to seed globulins.  相似文献

Emulsifying properties of acidic subunits of soy 11S globulin   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  
The emulsifying properties of the acidic subunits (AS11S) isolated from soy glycinin (11S) have been studied. The isolated AS11S existed in solution mainly as a dimer species. Circular dichroic analysis indicated only a slight increase in aperiodic structure and no significant difference in beta-sheet structure when compared with those of soy 11S. At similar experimental conditions, the emulsifying properties of AS11S were superior to those of soy 11S and heat-denatured 11S. Emulsions prepared with 1% AS11S remained very stable without any visible oil separation for more than a month under gentle agitating conditions, whereas those prepared with 1% 11S collapsed and separated into phases within 2-3 days. The AS11S-stabilized emulsions were very stable below 0.15 M ionic strength. Studies on the rate of adsorption and surface tension reduction at the air-water interface showed that AS11S was significantly more surface active than soy 11S. It is proposed that, because the mass fraction of acidic subunits in soy 11S is approximately 60% and it is relatively easy to separate the acidic subunits from soy 11S, it may be industrially feasible to develop an economical process to isolate functional acidic subunits for use in emulsion-based food products.  相似文献

Glycinin is a hexameric protein composed of five kinds of subunits. The subunits are classified into two groups, group I (A1aB1b, A1bB2, and A2B1a) and group II (A3B4 and A5A4B3). We purified four mutant glycinins composed of only group I subunits (group I-glycinin), only group II subunits (group II-glycinin), only A3B4 (A3B4-glycinin), and only A5A4B3 (A5A4B3-glycinin) from mutant soybean lines. The physicochemical properties of these glycinin samples were compared with those of the normal glycinin (11S) composed of five kinds of subunits. The thermal stabilities (as measured by thermal denaturation midpoint temperatures) of 11S, group I-glycinin, and group II-glycinin were similar to each other, although that of A3B4-glycinin was significantly lower than those of the others. The orders of aromatic and aliphatic surface hydrophobicities were the same: A3B4-glycinin > group II-glycinin > A5A4B3-glycinin > 11S > group I-glycinin. The solubility of 11S as a function of pH at mu = 0.5 was governed by that of group I-glycinin and followed this order at acidic pH: 11S = group I-glycinin > A3B4-glycinin > group II-glycinin = A5A4B3-glycinin. The order of emulsifying abilities was A5A4B3-glycinin > group II-glycinin > A3B4-glycinin > 11S > group I-glycinin. This order was consistent with that of the length of their hypervariable regions. Except for this relationship, there was no significant relationship among the other physicochemical properties of the mutant glycinins.  相似文献

Rice endosperm extraction conditions were optimized by response surface methodology. The optimum alkali extraction conditions were pH 11.0 at 40°C for 3 hr with 8:1 solvent‐to‐solid ratio. The maximum protein yield was 43.1% at these conditions. As the extraction pH was increased from 9.0 to 12.0, protein extractability and content increased but the solubility and emulsifying properties of the extracted protein decreased. The extracted protein was recovered by either isoelectric precipitation (IEP) or ultrafiltration (UF). Ultrafiltering the supernatant with a 5‐kDa hollow fiber membrane concentrated the protein from 1.8 to 16% (dry basis) and the resulting solution was spray‐dried to produce a protein concentrate (RPUF) with 71% protein. Although RPIEP contained higher protein (86%) than RPUF (71%), RPUF showed higher solubility and emulsifying properties. The solubility of RPUF was higher (37%) than RPIEP (15%). RPUF also demonstrated higher emulsion activity (0.414) and stability (22.4 min) compared with the emulsion activity (0.282) and stability (15.5 min) of RPIEP. Higher solubility and the soluble nonprotein components of RPUF contributed to higher emulsifying properties than RPIEP. The UF provided milder extraction conditions with improved emulsifying properties than conventional IEP.  相似文献

Seed oil bodies are lipid storage organelles of 0.5-2 microm in diameter and comprise a triacylglycerol matrix shielded by a monolayer of phospholipids and proteins. These proteins include abundant structural proteins, oleosins, and at least two minor proteins termed caleosin and steroleosin. This study examined if artificial oil bodies (AOBs) composed of triacylglycerol and phospholipid could be stabilized by oleosin, caleosin, or steroleosin. Our results showed that stabilization effects could be realized by oleosin or caleosin but not by steroleosin. The sizes of the AOBs constituted with oleosin (0.5-2 microm) or caleosin (50-200 nm) were similar to or 10 times smaller than those of the native oil bodies. Recombinant caleosin expressed in Escherichia coli also encapsulated AOBs with a size, topology, and stability comparable to those encapsulated with native caleosin. A proteinase K digestion indicated that caleosin anchored the AOBs via its central hydrophobic domain of approximately 4 kDa. Isoelectrofocusing revealed that the isoelectric point of the caleosin-stabilized AOBs was pH 4.0. Aggregation of AOBs was observed at a pH lower than 4.5; thus, their stability and integrity were presumably contributed by surface caleosin via electronegative repulsion and steric hindrance. The caleosin-stabilized AOBs were thermostable up to 70 degrees C and potentially useful for biotechnological applications.  相似文献

The 7S/11S glycinin equilibrium as found in Lakemond et al. (J. Agric. Food Chem. 2000, 48, xxxx-xxxx) at ambient temperatures influences heat denaturation. It is found that the 7S form of glycinin denatures at a lower temperature than the 11S form, as demonstrated by a combination of calorimetric (DSC) and circular dichroism (CD) experiments. At pH 7.6, at which glycinin is mainly present in the 11S form, the disulfide bridge linking the acidic and the basic polypeptides is broken during heat denaturation. At pH 3.8, at which glycinin has dissociated partly into the 7S form, and at pH 5.2 this disruption does not take place, as demonstrated by solubility and gel electrophoretic experiments. A larger exposure of the acidic polypeptides (Lakemond et al., 2000) possibly correlates with a higher endothermic transition temperature and with the appearance of an exothermic transition as observed with DSC. Denaturation/aggregation (studied by DSC) and changes in secondary structure (studied by far-UV CD) take place simultaneously. Generally, changes in tertiary structure (studied by near-UV CD) occur at lower temperatures than changes in secondary structure.  相似文献

This study examined the immunogenic response of glycinin under varying conditions of pH and ionic strength using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to investigate the conformational changes induced as a result of these conditions, and the correlation with the changes observed in glycinin immunoreactivity were determined. A highly purified glycinin obtained by isoelectric precipitation followed by native preparative continuous flow electrophoresis was used for these studies. Purity was confirmed by two-dimensional-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and mass spectroscopy. DSC and FTIR results suggest that glycinin immunoreactivity is affected by changes in the tertiary and secondary packing of the protein, when flexibility, stability, and accessibility of certain substructures are modified. Aggregation and/or increased compactness of glycinin subcomponents could have potentially prevented epitopes from reacting with the IgG antibodies.  相似文献

Oleosins are hydrophobic proteins from oleaginous seeds, surrounding and stabilizing oil bodies. They are known to display interesting interfacial properties. Specific sera were raised against four different A. thaliana oleosins and used in dot-blot assays for oleosin quantification. These assays were used to set up extraction of oleosins from A. thaliana seeds. One mixture of chloroform/methanol gave optimal oleosin extraction. Extracted proteins represented 9% of seed proteins and were identified by immunoblot and proteomic analyses. Oleosins accounted for 79% of the extracted proteins. This simple one-step procedure allows selective extraction and concentration of oleosins from seeds without tedious oil body purification. Oleosin extract was indeed used to demonstrate the presence of the rare oleosin S5 in mature seeds. Moreover, this method will be useful to investigate the potential use of oleosins as emulsifier and to question their possible allergenicity.  相似文献

The functional properties of proteins from Tarom and Shiroodi cultivars were determined and compared with technological aspects of food and nutraceutical applications. Shiroodi has higher protein content than Tarom, and the yields of protein obtained were 72.88 and 66.36%, respectively. Nitrogen solubilities of rice bran protein of Tarom were more than Shiroodi at all pH levels. In addition, higher solubility was found in acidic or alkaline conditions. Although the rice bran proteins had lower emulsifying properties than bovine serum albumin, they had similar foaming properties in comparison with egg white. Tarom isolates had a significantly higher solubility, emulsifying property, and foaming stability and greater surface properties than Shiroodi isolates. The results showed the surface hydrophobicities of rice bran protein were greater than casein and ovalbumin and lower than other proteins such as bovine serum albumin. Water and oil absorption capacities were 1.03 and 1.66 for Tarom and 87.3 and 75.3 for Shiroodi, respectively. The bulk densities of Tarom and Shiroodi were also 0.55 and 0.53 g/mL, which make them suitable for weaning food and other industrial applications. As a result, these rice bran proteins showed higher hydrophobicity than that of other rice bran protein varieties as well as more functionality. Thus, they have good potential in the food and pharmaceutical industries.  相似文献

Lysyl residues of rapeseed napin (2S) and cruciferin (12S) were acylated and sulfamidated by means of anhydrides and sulfonyl chlorides, respectively. The secondary and tertiary structures as well as the surface hydrophobicity of the modified proteins were studied using circular dichroism, intrinsic fluorescence, and binding of anilinonaphthalenesulfonic acid. The results showed clearly that grafting of hydrophobic chains induced different structural modifications and surface hydrophobicities on the monomeric (2S) and on the hexameric (12S) proteins. Thus, the original structure of the 2S modified protein seemed to be preserved. Therefore, the surface hydrophobicity increased proportionally with the number of groups grafted. Conversely, after modification, 12S was shown to be expanded. As a result, hydrophobic regions were exposed, leading to a much greater hydrophobization of the protein surface. Acylation and sulfamidation appeared, therefore, to be good methods to hydrophobize efficiently the surface of the two proteins and thus might probably induce new functional properties.  相似文献

In heat denaturation studies conducted in the past the genetic variants of glycinin have been considered as a homogeneous group of proteins. In this work the validity of this assumption was tested. It was found by calorimetric studies that glycinin denatures heterogeneously at pH 7.6. When the temperature of isothermal treatment is increased from 70 to 82 degrees C the proportion of glycinin remaining native progressively decreases from 95% to 5% while the denaturation temperature of the glycinin remaining native increases from 88.5 to 95 degrees C. Similar trends were found for pH 3.8. Fractionation and subsequent analysis (MALDI-TOF and CE) of isothermally treated samples demonstrated that at pH 7.6 the heterogeneous denaturation is caused by differences in thermal stability of the genetic variants of glycinin. The stability increases in the order G2/G3/G1< A(4)< G5 < G4.  相似文献

该文研究了不同制备方法对花生浓缩蛋白功能性的影响,以期为不同制备方法制得的花生浓缩蛋白在食品中的广泛应用提供理论支持。以脱脂花生蛋白粉（DPF）为原料,通过等电沉淀、乙醇浸提、等电沉淀与乙醇浸提相结合及碱溶酸沉技术制备花生浓缩蛋白,并分别测定其蛋白功能性（蛋白溶解性、吸水性、持油性、乳化能力及乳化稳定性、起泡能力及泡沫稳定性、凝胶性质）。结果表明：碱溶酸沉技术制备的蛋白溶解性、起泡能力及泡沫稳定性最好;而乙醇浸提制备的蛋白吸水性、持油性和凝胶性质要显著性的高于其他方法制备的蛋白产品的;不同方法制备的花生浓缩蛋白的乳化稳定性均明显低于对照（DPF）,尤以碱溶酸沉技术制备的最低。因此可知,乙醇浸提制备的蛋白适用于对吸水性、持油性和凝胶性质要求较高的食品中;碱溶酸沉技术制备的蛋白适用于对起泡能力要求较高的食品中。  相似文献
