✦ Synopsis

A 715 base pair cDNA clone coding for an acyl carrier protein (ACP) in spinach leaves has been isolated and characterized. The amino acid sequence indicated by the cDNA sequence closely matches the amino acid sequence of the ACP-I isoform. The presence of polyadenylation and DNA sequence coding for a precursor protein with a putative transit peptide, and the absence of hybridization between the cloned DNA and isolated spinach plastid DNA collectively show that the ACP-I gene is nuclear-encoded. The ACP-I cloned DNA did not cross-hybridize with mRNA from spinach tissues in which ACP-II has been found. Cross-hybridization with mRNA from tissues of Brassica campestris was either weak or undetectable. The cloning of an ACP-I gene represents an initial step in the molecular dissection of fatty acid synthetase in plants.

The main nitrogen source for most higher plants is soil nitrate. Prior to its incorporation into amino acids, plants reduce nitrate to ammonia in two enzymatic steps. Nitrate is reduced by nitrate reductase to nitrite, which is further reduced to ammonia by nitrite reductase. In this paper, the comp

A previous study has demonstrated that the carboxyl-terminal (C-terminal) processing protease in spinach for the D 1 precursor protein (pD1) of the photosystem II reaction center is a monomeric protein of about 45 kDa. Based on the amino acid sequence data of the purified protease, a cDNA clone enco
