[Nucleotide sequence of cDNA of glicinin A3 subunits: variability of different species detected by comparative
Abstract:
Several cDNA cloned which code for subfamily A3 subunits (A3B4 and A5A4B3) of soybean storage protein glycinin were analysed by means of restriction mapping and hybrid - selection. The comparison of A3B4 and A5A4B3 subunits cDNA sequences reveals the 90% homology. The nucleotide sequences obtained in the process of this work were compared with those reported about elsewhere, in order to study the interaspecific variability of homologous but not identical storage protein genes of subfamily A3 glycinin subunit. Nucleotide replacements were found to occur 6 times more frequently in A3B4 subunit gene, as compared to A5A4B3 subunit gene (48 replacements against 8).

Globular and Fibrous Proteins
Globular proteins are also known as spheroproteins and typically are approximately round in shape. They contain a mix of amino acid types and contain differing sequences in their primary structures. Globular proteins have many different functions, such as enzymes, cellular messengers, and molecular transporters. These roles often require the proteins to be...
