Immunoreactive proteins in Arabidopsis leaf and
chloroplast stromal extracts detected with antibodies raised against
AtDEF1 and 2. Purified recombinant proteins (100 ng) and
proteins from Arabidopsis leaves and chloroplasts (250 μg) were
electrophoresed, electroblotted to a polyvinylidene fluoride
membrane, and probed with primary antibody (A and C, right one-half
AtDEF1 serum; and B and C, left one-half AtDEF2
serum). Pea mitochondrial and Arabidopsis chloroplast stromal proteins
(250 μg) were similarly analyzed (D) with a mitochondrial-specific
Vitis vinifera isoenzyme 1 NADH-Glu-dehydrogenase primary
antibody (provided by K.A. Roubelakis-Angelaki). M, Prestained
molecular mass markers; DEF1 and DEF2, 100 ng affinity-purified
pAtDEF1 and 2; At, Arabidopsis leaf protein
extract; At Cp, Arabidopsis chloroplast stromal protein
extract; Ps Mito, pea mitochondrial protein extract.
