Chapter
The components of the plasminogen activation system including the urokinase plasminogen activator, uPA, its cellular receptor, uPAR, and its inhibitor, PAI-1, are involved in cancer invasion and metastasis and...
Chapter
Photosystem I is one of four multisubunit complexes of thylakoid membranes involved in the photosynthetic electron transport. The PSI of barley contains eight polypeptides (1). Three of these polypeptides are ...
Article
The polypeptides of the barley light-harvesting protein of photosystem I (LHCI) share certain epitopes. At least two of these common epitopes are present in chlorophylla/b-protein 1 (Chla/b-Pl-CP29), as shown by ...
Article
The presence of photosystem II polypeptides and photosystem II activity in unstacked regions of barley thylakoid membranes were investigated by immunological and spectroscopic techniques. Immunogold labelling ...
Article
Monoclonal antibodies to hordein polypeptides have been produced and characterized. All antibodies reacted with more than one polypeptide, indicating that different hordein polypeptides have common epitopes. O...
Article
Three monoclonal antibodies to the 15.2 kD polypeptide subunit of a barley photosystem I(PSI) particle have been characterized. Immune-blot assays showed that there are at least two different antigenic sites o...
Article
Monoclonal antibodies have been produced to the two putative 18.3 and 15.2 kD iron-sulphur centre proteins in barley. When photosystem I particles, containing only chlorophylla-protein 1 and the 18.3 and 15.2 kD ...
Chapter
When the hybridoma technique (Köhler, Milstein 1975) is employed, purification of the antigen prior to immunization is not necessary to obtain monospecific antibodies, so called monoclonal antibodies. In the p...
Article
Quantitative determinations of chlorophylls, carotenes and xanthophylls were carried out by high pressure liquid chromatography on the nuclear gene mutanttigrina-o 34. In the dark the mutant accum...
Chapter
Detailed knowledge of the structure and function of the proteins involved in photosynthetic reactions can provide information to what extent these proteins can be modified in the course of crop improvement. Th...
Article
When grown at 20 °C the recessive nuclear gene mutanttigrina-o 34 in barley is deficient in 70S chloroplastic ribosomes, but contains wild-type levels of 80S cytoplasmic ribosomes. When grown at 3...
Article
Six putative photosystem I mutants in five different nuclear genes of barley have been characterized with respect to their photosynthetic electron transport capabilities,P700, cytochromes, chlorophyll-proteins an...
Article
Thylakoid polypeptides from barley were separated by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis by use of either SDS or LiDS as the detergent. Staining of either gel-type with 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine-H2O2 revealed...
Article
The nuclear gene mutantviridis-n 34 in barley has been characterized as a photosystem I mutant. The slow component of the light dependent absorption change at 518 nm and the photooxidation of cyto...
Article
The extrinsic part of coupling factor (CF1) has been isolated from chloroplasts of barley and antibodies have been raised against the purified protein. The five different subunits of CF1 were identified among the...
Article
An aqueous dextran/polyethylene glycol two phase system is used to separate spinach chloroplast thylakoid vesicles obtained by Yeda press treatment of a grana-enriched fraction. It is shown by freeze-fracturin...
Article
Thylakoids isolated and purified from wild-type barley chloroplasts were treated to remove polypeptides without destroying the membrane structure. The polypeptide compositions of such basic membranes were dete...
Article
A method is described for obtaining good yields of purified internal membranes of plastids from greening barley seedlings. The procedure is suitable, without modification, for isolating intact plastids from et...
