Besides abundant oleosin, three minor proteins, Sop 1, 2, and 3, are present in sesame (Sesamum indicum) oil bodies. The gene encoding Sop1, named caleosin for its calcium-binding capacity, has
recently been cloned. In this study, Sop2 gene was obtained by
immunoscreening, and it was subsequently confirmed by amino acid
partial sequencing and immunological recognition of its overexpressed protein in Escherichia coli. Immunological cross
recognition implies that Sop2 exists in seed oil bodies of diverse
species. Along with oleosin and caleosin genes, Sop2 gene was
transcribed in maturing seeds where oil bodies are actively assembled.
Sequence analysis reveals that Sop2, tentatively named steroleosin,
possesses a hydrophobic anchoring segment preceding a soluble domain
homologous to sterol-binding dehydrogenases/reductases involved in
signal transduction in diverse organisms. Three-dimensional structure of the soluble domain was predicted via homology modeling. The structure forms a seven-stranded parallel -sheet with the active site, S-(12X)-Y-(3X)-K, between an NADPH and a sterol-binding subdomain. Sterol-coupling dehydrogenase activity was demonstrated in
the overexpressed soluble domain of steroleosin as well as in purified
oil bodies. Southern hybridization suggests that one steroleosin gene
and certain homologous genes may be present in the sesame
genome. Comparably, eight hypothetical steroleosin-like proteins are
present in the Arabidopsis genome with a conserved NADPH-binding
subdomain, but a divergent sterol-binding subdomain. It is indicated
that steroleosin-like proteins may represent a class of
dehydrogenases/reductases that are involved in plant signal
transduction regulated by various sterols.
