Isolation of a napin-like polypeptide with potent translation-inhibitory activity from chinese cabbage (Brassica parachinensis cv green-stalked) seeds

A heterodimeric napin‐like polypeptide was isolated from Brassica parachinensis seeds with a procedure involving ion exchange chromatography on DEAE‐cellulose, affinity chromatography on Affi‐gel blue gel, FPLC‐ion exchange chromatography on Mono S and FPLC‐gel filtration on Superdex 75. The N‐termi...

Zusammenfassung:A heterodimeric napin‐like polypeptide was isolated from Brassica parachinensis seeds with a procedure involving ion exchange chromatography on DEAE‐cellulose, affinity chromatography on Affi‐gel blue gel, FPLC‐ion exchange chromatography on Mono S and FPLC‐gel filtration on Superdex 75. The N‐terminal sequence of the 5 kDa subunit of the polypeptide (PAGPFRIPKKRKKEE) showed high homology with other 2S storage proteins like napins and albumins. The polypeptide potently inhibited translation in a cell free system with an IC50 of 6.2 nM. The translation‐inhibiting activity of the polypeptide was relatively stable in the pH range 6–11 and in the temperature range 10–50°C.
