Stability of soybean root GS holoenzyme in the
native and the oxidized form incubated in root extract. The 4-d-old
root extract was incubated in a DTT-mediated MCO system in the presence
(DTT/Fe-EDTA) or absence of EDTA (DTT/FeCl3), and samples
were removed at the indicated times. The reaction was terminated by the
addition of glycerol to 20%, followed by immediate freezing. A,
Results of native gel electrophoresis (at 4°C) followed by western
blotting and immunodetection using anti-GS antibodies. 8er., Octamer;
4er., tetramer. B, Bands quantified using Intelligent Quantifier
software and plotted. The figure represents typical results.
