Separation of isoforms of AGPase by ion-exchange
chromatography. Wheat endosperms were extracted and the homogenate
applied to a Q-Sepharose column as described in “Materials and
Methods.” a, The activity of AGPase in each fraction is expressed as
a percentage of the total AGPase activity recovered in all fractions
from the column. b, Samples of fractions 21 through 33 (containing
AGPase activity) were subjected to SDS-PAGE, blotted onto
nitrocellulose, and probed with Bt2 antiserum at a dilution of 1/5,000.
c, Cytosolic SSU; P, plastidial SSU.
