The ability of phaseolin to act as an acyl donor and acceptor substrate of transglutaminase was studied by using an enzyme isolated from Streptoverticillium mobarense. Phaseolin, a trimeric storage protein from Phaseolus vulgaris L., was shown to possess both glutamine and lysine residues reactive for the enzyme. The extent of transglutaminase-catalyzed cross-linking has been studied in function of both incubation time and enzyme concentration. Native- and SDS-PAGE demonstrated that phaseolin is intra- and intermolecularly cross-linked by transglutaminase and gives rise to different polymers as well as to modified forms of the protein having a similar molecular weight but lower Stokes radius if compared to unmodified phaseolin. Cross-linked phaseolin was found to be more resistant to proteolytic cleavage than the unmodified counterpart, as demonstrated by in vitro trypsin and pepsin digestion experiments. This behavior could suggest novel possible uses of the transglutaminase-modified phaseolin.

D011503 Transglutaminases Transglutaminases catalyze cross-linking of proteins at a GLUTAMINE in one chain with LYSINE in another chain. They include keratinocyte transglutaminase (TGM1 or TGK), tissue transglutaminase (TGM2 or TGC), plasma transglutaminase involved with coagulation (FACTOR XIII and FACTOR XIIIa), hair follicle transglutaminase, and prostate transglutaminase. Although structures differ, they share an active site (YGQCW) and strict CALCIUM dependence.
