Abstract: The- gliadins are the important components of seed strorage proteins,and their composition and content play a major role in determining the processing quality of wheat.Using PCR technology,total 32 novel genes (Designated as ZF5A- 1- ZF5A-32; GenBank No: JX828280-JX828311 ) were cloned from the wheat cultivar Zhengfeng 5,including 17 full- ORF- gliadin genes(Designated as ZF5A-1-ZF5A-17) and 15 pseudogenes.The sequence analysis of deduced amino acids showed that 10 had the typical structural characteristics of- gliadin genes reported previously,and 7(ZF5A-1,ZF5A-3,ZF5A-6,ZF5A-9,ZF5A-10,ZF5A-11,ZF5A-15) possessed an additional cysteine residue in the unique domain .Based on the occurrence of the four major T cell immunogenic peptides and glutamine residues in the glutamine repeats,ZF5A- 7and ZF5A-12 could be assigned to chromosome 6A,ZF5A-4,ZF5A-13,ZF5A-14 and ZF5A-17 to chromosome 6B,and other 11 genes to chromosome 6D.The sec- ondary structure predication of 17 cloned genes and other four genes in public database demonstrated that the num- bers and distributions of-helix and-strand were variable in different mature-gliadins.Generally,5- helixes (H1-H5) usually presented in the two glutamine repeats and two unique domains for majority of- gliadins,but theputative proteins of ZF5A-17 lost the- helix(H2 ),ZF5A-2 and ZF5A-8 had an additional-helix in the uni domain (HE1 ),and GQ891685 and ZF5A- 15 had an additional- helix in the second glutamine repeat(HE2 ) addition,most of the genes(61.11%) had a-strand(E) in the C-terminal unique domain .High variations numbers of cysteine residue,-helixes and-strands in the-gliadins of Zhengfeng 5 might be strongly related its good rheological properties of dough.
