Abstract:
:The protein synthesis elongation factor 1A (eEF1A) is a multifunctional protein in eukaryotic cells. In maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm eEF1A co-localizes with actin around protein bodies, and its accumulation is highly correlated with the protein-bound lysine (Lys) content. We purified eEF1A from maize kernels by ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion-exchange, and chromatofocusing. The identify of the purified protein was confirmed by microsequencing of an endoproteinase glutamic acid-C fragment and by its ability to bundle actin. Using purified eEF1A as a standard, we found that this protein contributes 0.4% of the total protein in W64A+ endosperm and approximately 1% of the protein in W64Ao2. Because eEF1A contains 10% Lys, it accounts for 2.2% of the total Lys in W64A+ and 2.3% of the Lys in W64Ao2. However, its concentration predicts 90% of the Lys found in endosperm proteins of both genotypes, indicating that eEF1A is a key component of the group of proteins that determines the nutritional quality of the grain. This notion is further supported by the fact that in floury2, another high-Lys mutant, the content of eEF1A increases with the dosage of the floury2 gene. These data provide the biochemical basis for further investigation of the relationship between eEF1A content and the nutritional quality of cereals.
