✦ Synopsis


Chromosomal nonhistone high-mobility-group (HMG) proteins were purified from nuclei of maize (Zea mays L. cv. A619) endosperm and leaf tissue. Tissuespecific differences were observed in their polypeptide patterns, in in-vitro phosphorylation experiments with a casein-kinase type II, and by Western blot analysis with antisera against different HMG proteins. Gelfiltration chromatography demonstrated that maize HMG proteins occur as monomers. By measuring the capacity of the HMG proteins to bind to the 5' flanking region of a zein gene, the sensitivity of the proteins to different temperatures, salt concentrations and pH values was determined.

Chromosomal non-histone high-mobility-group (HMG) proteins represent essential components of eukaryotic chromatin and have also been isolated from a variety of plants. In maize, studies on structure and function of the two larger of the four major H M G proteins have recently been performed and are

## Abstract The functional and nutritional characterization of two isolates elaborated through cleaning‐extraction processes, as well as that of a third isolate obtained by means of a chemical modification (alkaline heat treatment) from one of the former, was carried out. The first two isolates exh
