Abstract excerpt
The sulfur-amino-acid-rich delta-zeins of maize ( Zea mays L.) are represented by 18-kDa and 10-kDa proteins. We have cloned a novel 11-kDa methionine-rich delta-zein from developing endosperm of the inbred line W23a1. The nucleotide sequence of this new delta-zein is identical to the published 10-kDa delta-zein, except for an insertion of 18 nucleotides between +316 and +333 bp from the translation start site....
