Abstract

Three abundant proteins of approximate molecular masses of 22, 23, and 24 kilodaltons were purified from potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers by DEAE cellulose and CM-52 cellulose ion exchange column chromatography, electroelution, and high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Antibodies specific to the gel-purified 22-kilodalton protein were prepared. Immunoblot analysis showed that the 22-, 23-, and 24-kilodalton proteins are immunologically related and that these proteins are present in tubers and as higher molecular mass forms in leaves, but not in stems, roots, and stolons. The ratios of amino acid composition were compared among the three purified proteins, and the aminoterminal amino acid sequences were determined for these three proteins. All three proteins have identical amino-terminal sequences that match the deduced amino acid sequence of an abundant tuber protein cDNA.
