This study was carried out to examine in vitro first whether the storage proteins, which the fat bodies of last larvae from Hyphantria cunea secrete into haemolymph, can be uptaked by the fat body cells of prepupa and then how the uptaked storage proteins can be accumulated in the fat body cells, if uptaken. The fat bodies which had been isolated from last instar larvae were cultured in 1 ml of Grace's insect medium containing $50{\mu}l$ of $^{3}H$-leucine (5.0 mCi/mol, Dupont) at $28{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ for 6 hrs. After the homogenates of the cultured fat bodies were centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 10 minutes, the proteins included in the supernatant were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoreses (non-SDS, 6%). The next treatment of the electrophoresed gel was followed by rinsing. A storage protein band of several bands in the rinsed gel was sliced off. With elution of sliced storage protein bands in Tris-glycine buffer, the purification of radioactive storage proteins from fat bodies was finished. After the purified radioactive storage proteins were added in Grace's insect midis containing fat bodies of the prepupae, they were cultured for the randomly following minutes given as 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20 and 30 and for the randomly following hours given as 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. The double fixations of the cultured fat bodies in aldehyde and $OsO_4$, were followed by preparation of ultrathin sections from Epon-Araldite blocks through dehydration and embedding. The electron microscope autoradiographic treatment of all prepared sections were performed by the dipping method (Kim et al., 1987). The finally prepared specimens were examined with electron microscope. The fat body cells of the prepupa could be found to uptake the storage preteins of the last instar larvae, which were included in the culture medium, mostly by formation of coated vesicles. The in vitro uptake of the storage proteins actively occurred by 30 minutes after the addition of purified storage proteins in the culture medium. After culture for 7 minutes with the storage proteins, the uptaked radioactive storage proteins labelled a number of lysosomal granules. After culture for 20 minutes with the storage proteins, the radioactive storage proteins were finally incorporated and accumulated in lipid droplets and protein granules. The frequency in the fat body cell of radiolabelled lipid droplets occurs approximately 60%, while the frequency, in which the radiolabelled protein granules occurs in a fat body cell, is approximately 40%.

Yolk platelets, one of the main food stores in the embryonic development, are composed of proteins. However, little is known about the identity of proteins utilized at certain stages of embryogenesis. In this study, we followed the fates of embryonic storage proteins by using an anti-polyubiquitin monoclonal antibody (mAB) as a probe. The mAb recognized the major storage proteins of Drosophila, Xenopus and chicken eggs. In the Drosophila embryo, the mAb-reactive 45-kDa protein was not used until stage 11 but was used up at stage 16 when the embryo completed segmentation. In the Xenopus embryo, the mAb-reactive 111 kDa protein was mostly utilized between stages 42 and 45 implying that the protein might be an energy source used just prior to feeding on food. By N-terminal sequencing the storage protein of Xenopus embryo was identified as a lipovitellin 1. This study confirms that storage proteins are used almost simultaneously at certain stages of embryogenesis and that vitellogenin 1 is the last storage protein in Xenopus embryogenesis.

Single seeds of common buckwheat cultivar Suwon No. 1 when subjected to SDS-PAGE revealed very high polymorphism. High variation existed for protein or protein subunits with molecular weight 54-47kDa, 45-25kDa and 16-11kDa. The electrophoregram showed variation for globulin as well as other protein fractions. About 300 proteins were separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis in common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench.) seed. Seed maturation is a dynamic and temporally regulated phase of seed development that determines the composition of storage proteins reserves in mature seeds. Buckwheat seeds from 5, 10, 15, 20, and 25 days after pollination and matured stage were used for the analysis. This led to the establishment of high-resolution proteome reference maps, expression profiles of 48 spots. It was identified 48 proteins from MALDI-TOF/MS analysis of wild buckwheat seed storage proteins. The 48 proteins were found identical or similar to those of proteins reported in buckwheat and other plants; it is belonging to 9 major functional categories including seed storage proteins, stress/defense response, protein synthesis, photosynthesis, allergy proteins, amino acid, enzyme, metabolism, and miscellaneous. It appears that the major allergenic storage protein separated played the important role in buckwheat breeding and biochemical characterization.

Soybean seed is a good source of plant protein in human consumables such as baby formula and protein concentrate. The seeds contain an abundance of storage proteins, namely ${\beta}$-conglycin and glycinin that account for ~ 70-80% of the total seed protein content. Proteome profiling has been proved to be an efficient way that can help us to investigate the seed storage proteins. In the present study, the seeds were removed from the pods and the cotylendonary tissues were separated from the testa for proteome analysis in order to investigate the seed storage proteins. A systematic proteome profiling was conducted through one-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by MALDI-TOF-TOF mass spectrometry in the seeds (cotyledonary tissue) of soybean genotypes. Two dimensional gels stained with CBB, a total of 10 proteins were identified and analyzed using MASCOT search engine according to the similarity of sequences with previously characterized proteins along with the UniProt database. A total of ten proteins such as glycinin Gy4 precursor, glycinin G3 precursor, glycinin G1 precursor, glycinin chain A2B1a precursor, glycinin chain A2B1a precursor were identified in our investigation. However, the glycinin subunit may be considered to play important roles in soybean breeding and biochemical characterization. In addition, the improved technique will be useful to dissect the genetic control of glycinin expression in soybean.

Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) was executed to separate the seed storage proteins from the buckwheat. The proteins extracted from the whole seed proteins were better separated and observed in the use of lysis buffer. Using this method, the highly reproducible isoelectric focusing (IEF) can be obtained from polyacrylamide gels, and IEF from the polyacrylamide gel at all the possible pH range (5.0-8.0) was more easily separated than IPG (immobilized pH gradient) gels. The polyacrylamide gels in the first dimension in 2-DE was used to separate and identify a number of whole seed proteins in the proteome analysis. In this new apparatus using 2-DE, 27cm in length of plate coated with polyacrylamide gel was used and the experiment was further investigated under the various conditions.

This study was conducted to evaluate the proteolysis trends and change in meat quality during 10 days of cold storage in duck M. pectoralis major (PM) and M. iliotibialis (IL). Duck IL had a higher pH and greater degree of lightness but lower cooking loss than PM (p<0.05). During the 10-day cold storage, the pH value of PM declined significantly (p<0.05), while the meat quality traits of IL were not affected by cold storage (p>0.05). In PM, the redness increased from day 1 to day 5, while cooking loss was lower on day 10 compared to day 5 (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the activities of cathepsin B and proteasome 20S during cold storage (p>0.05). The activity of calpains declined gradually during 10 days of storage (p<0.05), and the activity of calpains in PM was higher than that in IL (p<0.05). A total of 5,155 peptides were detected and derived from 34 proteins of duck PM muscle, whereas 4,222 peptides derived from 32 proteins were detected from duck IL muscle. Duck PM muscle was composed only of fast type of muscle fiber, whereas IL muscle was composed of both slow and fast types. The proteins responsible for glycolysis or myofibrillar proteins were closely related to changes in meat color or water-holding capacity during cold storage. These results suggest that changes in meat quality characteristics during cold storage are closely related to protein degradation, which is also related to the distribution of muscle fiber types.

The storage proteins of the mulberry longicorn beetle, Apriona germari Hope, were purified and characterized. Three kinds of storage protein (SP1, SP2 and Sp3) were purified from the last instar larval hemolymph of A. germari by the FPLC techniques, anion exchange chromatography and gel permeation chromatography. The SP1, SP2 and SP3 have a native molecular weight of 480, 440 and 420 kDa, respectively. In the SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis, these storage proteins are composed of a single protein subunit with molecular weight of 90, 85 and 80 kDa, respectively. This result showed that the storage proteins are hexameric protein. The SP1 and SP2 were stained with Schiffs reagent, but SP3 was not stained. It can be assumed that SP1 and SP2 are glycoprotein. Western blot analyses using the each of polyclonal antiserum against purified SP1, SP2 and SP3 showed that the three antibodies reacted with the each of SP bands, respectively. Also, antibodies against SP1 and SP3 cross-reacted with the SP3 and SP1, respectively. However, SP2 was not cross-reacted with these two antibodies. Also, antiserum against SP2 did not cross-reacted with the SP1 and SP3.
