Identification of the gene coding for seed cotyledon albumin SCA in the pea (Pisum L.) genome

Albumins SCA and SAA are short, highly hydrophilic proteins accumulated in large quantities in the cotyledons and seed axes, respectively, of a dry pea (Pisum sativum L.) seed. SCA was earlier shown to have two allelic variants differing in mobility in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in acid medi...

description Albumins SCA and SAA are short, highly hydrophilic proteins accumulated in large quantities in the cotyledons and seed axes, respectively, of a dry pea (Pisum sativum L.) seed. SCA was earlier shown to have two allelic variants differing in mobility in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in acid medium. Using them, the corresponding gene SCA was mapped on Linkage Group V. This protein was used as a useful genetic and phylogeographical marker, which still required electrophoretic analysis of the protein while the DNA sequence of the corresponding SCA gene remained unknown. Based on the length, the positive charge under acidic conditions and the number of lysine residues of SCA and SAA albumins, estimated earlier electrophoretically, the data available in public databases were searched for candidates for the SCA gene among coding sequences residing in the region of the pea genome which, taking into account the synteny of the pea and Medicago truncatula genomes, corresponds to the map position of SCA. Then we sequenced them in a number of pea accessions. Concordance of the earlier electrophoretic data and sequence variation indicated the sequence Psat0s797g0160 of the reference pea genome to be the SCA gene. The sequence Psat0s797g0240 could encode a minor related albumin SA-a2, while a candidate gene for albumin SAA is still missing (as well as electrophoretic variation of both latter albumins). DNA amplification using original primers SCA1_3f and SCA1_3r from genomic DNA and restriction by endonuclease HindII made it possible to distinguish the SCA alleles coding for protein products with different charges without sequencing the gene. Thus, the gene encoding the highly hydrophilic albumin SCA accumulated in pea seeds, the alleles of which are useful for classification of pea wild relatives, has now been identified in the pea genome and a convenient CAPS marker has been developed on its basis.
