We have resolved and analyzed two proline-rich proteins isolated from the
walls of soybean cells in culture. The proteins are similar in amino acid
content, containing 20% proline, 20% hydroxyproline, 20% lysine, 16%
valine, 10% tyrosine, and 10% glutamate. The proteins undergo a
rearrangement or a limited cleavage in dilute NaOH, but are otherwise
remarkably stable to a high concentration of alkali. We have cloned and
sequenced a cDNA from soybean axes germinated for 31 hours (1A10-2) coding
for a protein that closely corresponds in its amino acid content to that of
the proline-rich proteins. The cDNA sequence predicts a decameric repeat of
Pro-Pro-Val-Tyr-Lys-Pro-Pro-Val-Glu-Lys. Consequently, this class of
proteins is referred to as repetitive proline-rich proteins, i.e., RPRP2
and RPRP3. We have also analyzed RNA gel blots with probes that
discriminate between the new cDNA clone and a related cDNA previously
reported [SbPRP1; Hong, Nagao, and Key (1987). J. Biol. Chem. 262,
8367-8376]. Messenger RNAs from young seedlings and from soybean suspension
cultures correspond primarily to the new RPRP clone (1A10-2), whereas the
predominant mRNA accumulating later in the roots corresponds to SbPRP1.
