Analysis of a cDNA library from wheat cv Wyuna endosperm, indicated a significant size and sequence variation among seed-endosperm protein genes. In this study, a family of low-molecular-weight seed protein genes are analysed that are related to the gliadins and the low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits. Sequence analysis and comparison of these proteins showed that they are closely related to a 17-kDa protein from barley, epsilon hordein, which plays a role in beer foam stability in the brewing industry. Mapping of these genes in wheat shows that they are located on group 7 and 4 chromosomes, as opposed to a group 1 and 6 location for the glutenins and gliadins. It is possible that this family of proteins forms a new class of seed-endosperm proteins important in defining the quality characteristics of wheat flour. Therefore, a representative gene from this family was expressed in Escherichia coli and the purified protein was supplemented into a base wheat flour. Rheological analysis showed that the protein effected dough strength and resistance break down during mixing of the dough, and provided a 20% increase in loaf height after baking.
