Identification of a UPTG inhibitor protein from maize endosperm: high homology with sucrose synthase protein.
A thermolabile UPTG inhibitor protein (IP) was isolated and purified from a developing maize endosperm preparation. High homology of two internal peptides of IP with known plant sucrose synthase (SS) sequences suggested that IP might be related somehow with SS. IP and SS activities were found in the...
