Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect Illumination for 80 h increased maize NADP malic enzyme activity 15-20-fold.
- Observation NADP malic enzyme protein increased alongside activity in illuminated maize.
- Observation Radiolabeled amino acids were incorporated into NADP malic enzyme during illumination.
- Mechanism The authors attribute greening-associated enzyme activity increases to de novo synthesis of NADP malic enzyme protein.
- Observation RNA from greening maize leaves directed in vitro synthesis of a protein 12,000 daltons larger than mature NADP malic enzyme.
- Observation Antibody to mature NADP malic enzyme precipitated both the precursor and mature forms.
- Observation NADP malic enzyme protein and precursor mRNA both increased during greening.
- Observation Peptide maps of precursor and mature NADP malic enzyme were very similar.
- Observation Mature and precursor NADP malic enzyme migrated as doublet bands.
- Observation Peptide analyses found all bands structurally related.
