Abstract
In order to elucidate the differences of protein profiles among soybean cultivars, the protein composition of three conventional domestic soybean cultivars and two imported ones including glyphosate-tolerant HS2906 was analyzed by total nitrogen measurement, amino acid analysis and PAGE/densitometry. There were no statistically significant differences in the levels of any amino acid, including aromatic amino acids, between glyphosale-tolerant soybean and the conventional soybean WS82. In the extraction of protein, the SDS/buffer system was more efficient than the defatting/water system. The SDS-PAGE/densitometry analysis showed that there was a similar profile of proteins among cultivars, although the amount of total protein ranged from 380.2 mg/g to 423.9 mg/g. In addition, there was no discernable difference of protein profile between glyphosate- tolerant soybean (total protein amount, 380.2 mg/g) and the conventional soybean WS82 (390.2 mg/g), although the amount of ${\beta}$-conglycinin (55 kDa) was lower in glyphosate-tolerant soybean. Meanwhile, the amount of 25 kDa protein was greater in domestic soybean cultivars than imported ones. Thus, normal PAGE/ densitometry method would be useful to analyze the difference in protein profiles of soybean proteins, and furthermore Evaluate the protein profile of proteins between GMO and conventional soybean.
국내산 콩 품종 3종과 미국산 콩 2종(non-GMO 및 GMO glyphosate-tolerant HS2906)에 대하여 단백질함량과 분포의 차이를 아미노산 분석, 총 질소량, PAGE/densitometry법에 의 해 분석하였다. 아미노산 구성과 총 질소량에서 품종간 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 한편 단백질 추출에서 SDS/buffer 추출법이 더 효과적이었다. 총 단백질함량(380.2-423.9 mg/g)과 단백질 분포는 품종간 유사하였으나. 상세 PACE(12.5% normal gel) 결과 재래종 콩(WS82)에 비해 제초제 저항성 GMO콩(HS2906)에서 beta conglycinin(55kDa) 양이 낮게 나타났으며, 25 kDa 단백질의 경우 미국산 콩에서는 관찰되지 못한 반면에 국내산 콩 품종에서는 뚜렷하게 관찰되었으며, ${\beta}$-conglycinin은 미국산 제초제 저항성 GMO콩과 국내산 황금콩에서 상대적으로 낮은 것으로 관찰되었다. 이와 같은 결과는 normal PAGE/densitometry 분석법은 콩시료 분석에 유용하게 활용될 수 있음을 보여주었다.
