Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Uricase cofactor content increased in soybean radicles in early seed germination, coincident with appearance of uricase activity.
- Association With aging, radicles lost uricase activity without a decrease in uricase apoprotein.
- Association With aging, radicles lost uricase activity.
- Observation Uricase cofactor could be produced in aerobic conditions.
- Mechanism A protein with maximum activity at pH 6.5 degraded the uricase cofactor.
- Observation The cofactor-degrading protein was not detected in 1- or 2-day-old seedlings but was detected later.
- Observation Uricase apoprotein was present in all developmental stages of soybean root despite absence of uricase activity.
- Intervention effect Decapitating the mature stem elicited uricase activity in roots.
