    Notes: Abstract cDNA and genomic clones encoding narbonin, a 2S globulin from the seed of narbon bean (Vicia narbonensis L.), were obtained using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced. The full-length cDNA as well as genomic clones contain a single open reading frame (ORF) of 873 bp that encodes a protein with 291 amino acids comprising the mature narbonin polypeptide (M r ca. 33 100) and an initiation methionine. The deduced amino acid sequence lacks a transient N-terminal signal peptide. The genomic clones do not contain any intron. No homology was found to nucleic acid and protein sequences so far registered in sequence data libraries. The biosynthesis of narbonin during embryogenesis is developmentally-regulated and its pattern of synthesis closely resembles that of typical seed storage globulins. However, during seed germination narbonin was degraded very slowly, indicating that it may have other function than storage protein. Southern analysis suggests the existence of a small narbonin gene family. Narbonin genes were also found in four different species of the genus Vicia as well as in other legumes such as Canavalia ensiformis and Glycine max. In Escherichia coli a recombinant narbonin was produced which yielded crystals like those prepared from narbonin purified from seeds.

    Notes: Abstract In order to evaluate the possibility of enhancing the sulphur amino acids in grain legumes, we have transferred the gene for the methionine-rich 2S albumin from Brazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa) controlled by a seed-specific promoter intoVicia narbonensis. The coding region of the 2S albumin gene that has been completely synthesized was fused to the seed-specific leguminB4 promoter fromVicia faba. Transgenic lines ofV. narbonensis were generated viaAgrobacterium-mediated gene analysis of leaves, stems, roots and seeds of four R0 plants revealed that the expression of the foreign 2S albumin gene occurred in a seed-specific manner and that the foreign protein is present at levels ranging from 1% to 4.8% of total SDS-soluble seed protein. Since the current protocol for transformation ofV. narbonensis has not yet been published, a detailed description of the method is given.
