Abstract
Recombinants encoding members of the trypsin/.alpha.-amylase inhibitors family (also designated CM-proteins) were selected from a cDNA library prepared from developing barley endosperm. Inserts in two of the clones, pUP-13 and pUP-38, were sequenced and found to encode proteins which clearly belong to this family, as judged from the extensive homology of the deduced sequences with that of the barley trypsin inhibitor CMe, the only member of the group for which a complete amino acid sequence has been obtained by direct protein sequencing. These results, together with previously obtained N- terminal sequences of purified CM-proteins, imply that there are at least six different members of this dispersed gene family in barley. The relationship of this protein family to the B-3 hordein and to reserve prolamins from related species is discussed in terms of their genome structure and evolution.
