A novel y-type high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit possessing a slightly faster mobility than that of subunit 1Dy12 in SDS-PAGE, designated 1Dy12.1(t) in Aegilops tauschi, was identified by one- and two-dimensional gel and capillary electrophoresis. Its coding gene at the Glu-D(t) 1 locus was amplified with allele-specific-PCR primers, and the amplified products were cloned and sequenced. The complete nucleotide sequence of 2,807 bp containing an open reading frame of 1,950 bp and 857 bp of upstream sequence was obtained. A perfectly conserved enhancer sequence and the -300 element were present at positions of 209-246 bp and 424-447 bp upstream of the ATG start codon, respectively. The deduced mature protein of 1 Dy12.1(t) subunit comprised 648 amino acid residues and had a Mr of 67,518 Da, which is slightly smaller than the 1Dy12 (68,695 Da) but larger than the 1Dy10 (67,495 Da) subunits of bread wheat, respectively, and corresponds well with their relative mobilities when separated by acid-PAGE. The deduced amino acid sequence indicated that the 1Dy12.1(t) subunit displayed a greater similarity to the 1Dy10 subunit, with only seven amino acid substitutions, suggesting that this novel gene could have positive effect on bread-making quality. A phenetic tree produced by nucleotide sequences showed that the x- and y-type subunit genes were respectively clustered together and that the Glu-D(t) 1y12.1 gene of Ae. tauschii is closely related to other y-type subunit genes from the B and D genomes of hexaploid bread wheat.
Cereal Chem. 81(5):561-566High molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) from three hexaploid wheat species (AABBDD, 2n=6x=42, Triticum aestivum L., T. spelta L., and T. compactum L.) were separated and identified by acidic capillary electrophoresis (A-CE) with phosphate-glycine buffer (pH 2.5) in uncoated fused-silica capillaries (50 µm, i.d. × 25.5 cm) at 12.5 kV and 40°C. The rapid separations (<15 min) of HMW-GS with good repeatability (RSD < 2%) were obtained using a fast capillary rising protocol. All 17 HMW-GS analyzed could be well separated and their relative migration orders were ranked. In particular, the good quality subunit pair 5+10 could be differentiated from poor quality subunit pair 2+12. In addition, the other three allelic pairs of 13+16, 17+18, and 7+8 subunits that were considered to have positive effects on dough properties, as well as three pairs of novel subunits 13+22
A novel y-type high molecular mass glutenin subunit (HMM-GS) possessing a mobility that is slightly slower than that of the subunit Dy10 obtained by SDS-PAGE, named Dy10.1t, in the wild wheat Aegilops tauschii was identified by 1- and 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis, capillary electrophoresis, and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). The gene encoding the HMM subunit Dy10.1t was amplified with allele-specific PCR primers, and the amplified products were cloned and sequenced. The coding domain of the Dy10.1t subunit gene consisted of 1980 bp encoding a protein of 658 residues with an M rs of 68 611 Da, which was similar to the M rs determined by MALDI-TOF-MS. The deduced amino acid sequence indicated that Dy10.1t subunit displayed a greater similarity to the Dy12 subunit, differing by only 8 amino acid substitutions. Six coding region single-nucleotide polymorphisms were discovered in the Dy10.1t gene by multiple alignments (1 per 330 bp), 1 in the N-terminal domain and the others in the central repeats. Five of them resulted in residue substitutions, whereas 3 created enzyme site changes. The homology and neighbour-joining trees constructed from code domain sequences of 20 x- and y-type glutenin genes from different Triticum species separated into 2 halves, which corresponded to the x-type and y-type HMM glutenin alleles. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the Glu-1 gene duplication event probably occurred at about 16.83 million years ago, whereas the divergence times of A, B, and D genomes within x-type and y-type halves were before 7.047 and 10.54 million years ago, respectively.
