Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Gamma irradiation increased bud asparagine synthetase activity tenfold within five hours.
- Observation Enzyme activity then fell rapidly.
- Intervention effect Irradiated buds had increased leucine incorporation into soluble protein.
- Intervention effect Cycloheximide inhibited protein synthesis and enzyme activation by about 70%.
- Intervention effect Puromycin inhibited protein synthesis and enzyme activation by about 60%.
- Intervention effect Actinomycin D inhibited protein synthesis in irradiated buds to 70%.
- Intervention effect Actinomycin D arrested enhanced asparagine synthetase activity to about 70%.
- Observation Purified asparagine synthetase formed one electrophoresis band.
- Association Leucine incorporation into the enzyme fraction correlated with increased specific activity.
