Isolation and characterization of trypsin inhibitor from opaque-2 corn seeds. 1977

M J Swartz, and H L Mitchell, and D J Cox, and G R Reeck

Trypsin inhibitor was isolated from seeds of opaque-2 corn by affinity chromatography on a trypsin/Sepharose column. The two major forms of inhibitor eluted from the affinity column were separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography in the presence of urea. One form of inhibitor is a single-chain protein that has a molecular weight of approximately 12,500; the second inhibitor has two polypeptide chains and appears to have been produced from the single-chain inhibitor by exposure to trypsin in the affinity chromatography step. The relationship of the inhibitor isolated from opaque-2 corn to an inhibitor previously isolated from an unspecified strain of maize by Hochstrasser et al. (Hochstrasser, K., Muss, M., and Werle, E. (1967) Z. Physiol. Chem. 348, 1337-1340) is discussed.

D010944 Plants Multicellular, eukaryotic life forms of kingdom Plantae. Plants acquired chloroplasts by direct endosymbiosis of CYANOBACTERIA. They are characterized by a mainly photosynthetic mode of nutrition; essentially unlimited growth at localized regions of cell divisions (MERISTEMS); cellulose within cells providing rigidity; the absence of organs of locomotion; absence of nervous and sensory systems; and an alternation of haploid and diploid generations. It is a non-taxonomical term most often referring to LAND PLANTS. In broad sense it includes RHODOPHYTA and GLAUCOPHYTA along with VIRIDIPLANTAE. Plant
