Abstract
In proteomic analysis, one of the major limitations is the detection of low-abundance proteins. To detect low-abundance RNA-binding proteins in mature dry seeds of rice, fractionation by single stranded DNA (ssDNA) affinity column chromatography was carried out before analysis by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Proteomic analysis of the ssDNA-binding fraction revealed the existence of three types of RNA-binding proteins, including a K homology (KH) domain containing protein, a putative RNA-binding protein and a glycine-rich RNA-binding protein, in mature seeds. In addition, decreases in the putative RNA-binding protein and glycine-rich RNA-binding protein after absorbing water in seeds appear to be associated with seed germination.
