Lipid composition of organelles from germinating castor bean endosperm.
Glyoxysome, endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and proplastid fractions were isolated from endosperm of castor beans (Ricinus communis) germinated for 5 days at 30 C. Samples from sucrose density gradients were diluted with 0.15 m KCI and the membranes pelleted. Lipid extracts of these membranes were analyzed for phosphoglyceride, acyl lipid, and sterol content. The endoplasmic reticulum cont...
متن کاملAccumulation of free ricinoleic Acid in germinating castor bean endosperm.
Lipids from the endosperm of germinating castor bean (Ricinus communis var. Hale) were separated by thin layer chromatography and quantitated by gas chromatography. During the later stages of lipid breakdown (4-6 days germination at 30 C), several lipid classes were found in addition to the storage triglycerides, which are triricinoleins for the most part. One was identified as free ricinoleic ...
متن کاملPurification of pyruvate kinase from germinating castor bean endosperm.
Cytosolic pyruvate kinase from endosperm of germinating castor beans (Ricinus communis L.; cv Hale) has been purified 3100-fold to apparent homogeneity and a final specific activity of 203 micromole pyruvate produced/minute per milligram protein. Purification steps included: heat treatment, polyethylene glycol fractionation, Q-Sepharose, ADP-agarose, Mono-Q and Phenyl Superose chromatography. N...
متن کاملATPase in lipid body membranes of castor bean endosperm.
Lipid body membranes purified from castor seed endosperm of dry seeds and 4 d old seedlings were found to have an ATPase activity associated with them. This was confirmed by equilibrium density centrifugation of the membranes using acid lipase as a marker enzyme. The specific activity ranged from 45 to 200 nanomoles per milligram protein per minute. The pH optimum was 9.0 but at pH 7.5 nearly 4...
متن کاملSpherosomes of Castor Bean Endosperm: MEMBRANE COMPONENTS, FORMATION, AND DEGRADATION.
The membrane components of the castor bean spherosomes were characterized. The storage triacylglycerols of isolated spherosomes were extracted with diethyl ether, and the membrane was isolated by sucrose gradient centrifugation. It had an apparent equilibrium density of 1.12 grams per cubic centimeter, and possessed an antimycin A-insensitive NADH cytochrome c reductase and an acid lipase. Phos...
