Budiani et al. mental stage of fruit were used for analysis of oil content and protein concentration. Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate-Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and two dimentional (2-D) electrophoresis were used to study and detect specific protein bands differentially expressed during fruit development. It was shown that oil synthesis was started at 17 weeks after anthesis (WAA). There was no correlation between concentrations of total protein with oil content during mesocarp development. From the SDS-PAGE, two protein of 31.0 kDa and 34.3 kDa were detected that their expression increased at the beginning and just before the period of active oil biosynthesis respectively. Further analysis with 2-D electrophoresis showed that 31.0 kDa-protein consist of two proteins, with pI 4,64 and pI 4,95, while 34.3 kDa protein is a single protein with pI 4,56. Partial amino acid sequencing data of the 31.0 kD protein showed that two polypeptides highly homologous with ht-ACCase biotin carboxylase subunit and four polypeptides homologuus with enoyl-ACP reductase, whereas 34.3 kD protein showed homology with glyceraldehyde-3 phosphate dehydrogenase.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
