Abstract
- Soybean seed basic 7S globulin (Bg7S)-like proteins are found in many plant species. Bg7S was originally thought to be a major seed storage protein but was later found to be multifunctional, with stress response, antibacterial activity, hormone receptor-like activity. Moreover, functional differences between Bg7S proteins from legumes and other plants have been revealed. In non-leguminous plants, Bg7S molecules inhibit the invasion of pathogenic microorganisms. However, although leguminous plants have a peptide called leg-insulin that can bind to Bg7S, non-leguminous plants do not have leginsulin. Bg7S in leguminous plants and other plants may have evolved in functionally different directions. Several homologs of Bg7S in plants are reported, but there is no homolog of this protein in peas, suggesting that the pea evolution might have followed a different route when compared to other leguminous plants. Although the functions of Bg7S are well documented in plants, recent studies suggest that this protein is also important in controlling blood glucose level, blood pressure and plasma cholesterol level, and cancer cell antiproliferative actions.
