Nonan-2-ol esters in sorghum leaf epicuticular wax and their collection by preparative gas chromatography
Synthesis of epicuticular wax primary alcohols by barley leaves is affected by the photoperiod. A radioanalytical study
Primary structure of a cerulenin-binding beta-ketoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] synthase from barley chloroplasts.
The radioactively labeled beta-ketoacyl thioester synthase inhibitor [3H] cerulenin was used to tag three dimeric barely chloroplast proteins (alpha alpha, alpha beta, and beta beta) from the stromal fraction. Oligonucleotides corresponding to amino acid sequences obtained from the purified proteins were used to generate with the polymerase chain reaction a probe for cDNAs encoding the beta subunit. cDNA sequencing revealed an open reading frame for 462 residues comprising the mature protein and a 35-amino acid transit peptide. The deduced amino acid sequence of the mature protein is homologous to the beta-ketoacyl-[acyl carrier protein] (ACP) synthase I [3-oxoacyl-ACP synthase; acyl-ACP:malonyl-ACP C-acyltransferase (decarboxylating), EC 2.3.1.41] of Escherichia coli. Under analogous experimental conditions [3H]cerulenin tagged a single dimeric protein from spinach chloroplasts
