Abstract
An M(r) 22 500 protein was purified from isolated oil bodies from sunflower cotyledons. N-terminal amino acid sequencing showed that this protein belonged to the 2S albumin group of storage proteins. A corresponding cDNA clone encoded a preproprotein, comprising two mature 2S albumin proteins one of which corresponded to the oil-body associated albumin. In contrast, the second albumin encoded by the eDNA was related to components purified from a total albumin fraction by RP-HPLC.
