Zein


Definition:

  • (n.) A nitrogenous substance of the nature of gluten, obtained from the seeds of Indian corn (Zea) as a soft, yellowish, amorphous substance.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) We have found that the o2-676 mutant protein does not show specific recognition of zein promoter fragments because of the substitution of a lysine residue for an arginine residue within the bZIP domain of o2-676.
  • (2) The zein mRNA sedimented as a homogeneous peak on sucrose gradients and contained a poly(A)-rich region based upon hybridization to [3H]poly(U).
  • (3) The changes in the quantity of protein and energy consumed by the rats, which were brought about by the addition of the essential limiting amino acids and groups of essential amino acids to gluten, casein, and zein, were not linearly related to alterations in the total plasma amino acid concentrations or to the accumulation of the added amino acids in the blood plasma.
  • (4) A 216 bp promoter fragment of the 19 kDa protein zein gene pMS1, containing the CCAAT and TATA boxes, was analysed by a variety of techniques for in vitro interactions with nuclear proteins from endosperm tissue.
  • (5) Beta zein exists in an aggregated state (dimer and higher forms) in dimethylformamide.
  • (6) A laboratory procedure for isolation and purification of zein from grains of 4 varieties of Maize was described.
  • (7) Serum antibodies from the maize-fed mice, immunized with either alpha-zein or maize glutelin, showed even labelling of the major maize endosperm proteins while antibodies from mice on the wheat diet showed strong labelling of the Mr 27,000 and 58,000 bands.
  • (8) The results suggested that the repression effect of the three mutations on zein accumulation may be mediated by the alteration of a zein transport or zein assembly process involving b-70I and b-70II.
  • (9) We found that zein is fairly stable in yeast cells and the increased accumulation of zein polypeptide depends mainly upon a marked increase of its rate of synthesis.
  • (10) Ultrastructural studies showed that gamma-zein occurs in high concentrations in the first few subaleurone cells of nonmodified endosperms, but high concentrations of gamma-zein occur in the subaleurone and central endosperm cells of modified opaque-2 mutants.
  • (11) This suggests that the O2 protein affects zein transcription through direct interaction with one or more zein promoter elements.
  • (12) In one system, the Ti plasmid was used to introduce the modified zein genes into the sunflower genome.
  • (13) Adult male rats were maintained on normal (20% casein), protein-free (0% casein), high protein (50% casein), decicient protein (20% zein), and a supplemented, deficient protein (20% zein plus L-lysine and L-tryptophan) diets.
  • (14) The signal sequence region of the 13 kDa prolamin, however, shows homology of more than 65% in both the nucleotide sequence and the amino acid sequence with rice 10 kDa prolamin and maize zein.
  • (15) 12 electrophoretic and 5-7 chromatographic fractions are found in zein, their molecular weight being 40000-280000 daltons.
  • (16) Based on in vitro binding assays, the greatest concentration of the beta-1 in endosperm nuclei is at 16 days after pollination, which coincides with the time of highest transcriptional activity of the beta-zein gene.
  • (17) The Mr 15,000 zein contains no repetitive nucleotide sequences and shows no homology with genes encoding the Mr 22,000 and 19,000 zeins.
  • (18) Protein-depleted rats, in the first half hour of a test, chose a significantly larger proportion of soybean, gluten, zein, fibrin, yeast torula and ovalbumin than protein replete controls, but not of casein or lactalbumin.

  • (20) A methionine-rich 10 kDa zein storage protein from maize was isolated and the sequence of the N-terminal 30 amino acids was determined.
