Characterization of pearl millet prolamins.

Abstract:

:We report the physical-chemical characterization of the major alcohol-soluble proteins present in seeds of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) by SDS-PAGE, bidimensional gel electrophoresis, MALDI-TOF/MS and RP-HPLC. We demonstrate the presence of three major prolamins, called A-, B- and C-pennisetin with mass values around 27, 22 and 12 kDa, respectively. We present partial amino acid sequences of these major proteins, which should allow the posterior isolation of the respective genes.

  • Expression and purification of soluble non-fusion vasostatin in Escherichia coli.

    abstract::Vasostatin has previously been expressed in fused form or in inclusion body form in Escherichia coli. Here the protein was expressed in soluble non-fusion form in BL21(DE3)pLysS by IPTG induction. The expression level of vasostatin was about 15% of the total cellular protein. The expressed vasostatin was purified and ...
