Table I. Effects of the NO donor DEA/NO on the release of Zn2+ from the recombinant MBP5 and the MBP5-ZmMT4 fusion protein.

Medium was supplemented with 0.4 mm ZnSO4. Values are means ± ses of three biological replicates. Zn2+ measurements were performed by the dithizone method (Paradkar and Williams, 1994).

The percentage of Zn2+ recovered after the DEA/NO treatment (Zn2+ released by NO) compared with the acidification assay (Zn2+ stored in MT4).
