Cloning of a wheat 15‐kDa grain softness protein (GSP)

Abstract: The wheat starch 15-kDa protein (called grain softness protein or GSP) consists of a major polypeptide and several minor polypeptides. An antiserum raised against GSP was used to screen a wheat cDNA library. A cDNA family encoding approximately 15-kDa proteins that included a heptapeptide sequence previously isolated from protease digests of GSP was identified. A partial cDNA was used in a prokaryotic expression system to produce a fusion protein which reacted strongly against the original anti-GSP serum. A ne… Show more

“…It is a simply inherited character (Symes 1965) and although the main locus is referred as ''Hardness'', softness is in fact the dominant trait. Soft wheat varieties carrying the dominant Ha allele have a higher abundance of a starch surface-associated protein (M r =15 kDa) named friabilin (Greenwell and Schofield 1986;Rahman et al 1994). Friabilin is a composite of related lipid-binding proteins including proteins coded by the genes Puroindoline-a (Pina) and Puroindoline-b (Pinb) and, in lower proportion, the protein coded by the Grain Softness Related (Gsp) gene (Gautier et al 1994;Rahman et al 1994).…”

The puroindoline proteins are more similar to each other (71%) than to the Grain Softness Related Protein (Gsp, 57-58%).…”

“…Speci®c PCR primers were designed based on the sequences of pTa31 (Pina-D1; Gautier et al 1994) and pGsp clones (Rahman et al 1994). The sense-and antisense-strand primers for the Pina-1 gene were 5¢-CCCTGTAGAGACAAAGCTAA-3¢ and 5¢-TCAC-CAGTAATAGCCAATAGTG-3¢; and for the Gsp-1 gene were 5¢-GCAAGCTCCCACCGCGGATG-3¢ and 5¢-CCAGTAATAT-CCGCTAGTGAT-3¢.…”
