Western blot analysis showed the presence of three forms of starch-branching enzyme (SBE), with apparent molecular masses of 103, 97 and 80 kDa, in extracts of leaves and stored tubers of Solanum tuberosum. The 80-kDa form was absent in extracts of fresh tuber. Active 80-kDa enzyme was partially purified from stored tubers and sequence analysis showed that it, similar to the two larger enzyme forms, was an SBE-I isoform. Limited proteolysis of isolated 103-kDa SBE-I under native conditions removed approximately 200 amino acid residues from the carboxy terminus. A stable intermediate with an apparent molecular mass of approximately 80 kDa was formed. Since the 80-kDa form displayed full enzymatic activity and its circular-dichroism spectrum did not differ significantly from that of the 103-kDa enzyme, the carboxy-terminal portion of the enzyme was suggested to have an extended, unordered structure and therefore to be easily accessible to proteolysis. A cDNA sequence encoding a mature SBE-I was amplified from tuber mRNA of S. tuberosum by means of PCR. The 3' end of this sequence differed significantly from that of previously published data. PCR amplification and DNA sequencing of the 3' ends of the steel gene showed that four steel alleles exist in the cultivar studied. Two of these four alleles. sbeIa and sbeIb, had slightly longer 3' ends compared with the other two, sbeIc and sbeId. The difference between the two groups of alleles was due to a partial deletion in sbeIc and sbeId of a segment duplicated in all alleles. All four alleles were expressed in leaf and tuber.
