Popis: Protein bodies (PBs) are highly specialized protein storage organelles in cereal seeds. PB formation in seeds initiates in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and depending on the plant species, PBs remain in the ER or find their way out of the ER, bypass the Golgi and end up in protein storage vacuoles (PSVs) (Khan et al., 2012). Protein bodies have been ectopically induced in leaves by producing high amounts of ER-retrieved recombinant proteins, usually by fusing them to protein tags such as Zera®, elastin-like polypeptide (ELP) and hydrophobin-I (HFBI).
