Gel-retardation experiments showing the effects of
preincubation of plastid extracts with K252a. Gel-shift assays were
carried out using radiolabeled LRP136 DNA fragment and plastid extracts
obtained from 4.5-d-old, dark-grown barley plants. Before binding
reactions, plastid extracts were preincubated either in the presence
(lane 3) or absence (lane 4) of K252a (10 μm, final
concentration), then further incubated with 1.0 mm ADP. The
effect of the incubation of the plastid extracts with K252a alone was
tested (lane 2). The major complexes observed with the preincubation of
the extracts without additions are labeled A, B, C, D, and E (Control,
lane 1). Migration of the free probe (FP) is indicated.
