| Abstract: | Itachi, a soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) variety with 0.2% normal seed urease activity, was recovered from a screen of 6,000 entries in the United States Department of Agriculture soybean germplasm collection. No urease antigen in Itachi seed extracts was detected by double diffusion or by rocket immunoelectrophoresis. Native gels stained for protein or ureolytic activity revealed no detectable urease holoenzyme. An anti-urease antibody affinity column was used to remove all detectable urease activity and antigen from `wild type' (cv. Prize) seed extracts. Affinity column effluent and nonchromatographed Itachi extracts both lack a species which comigrates with purified urease subunits in sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gels. Inability to detect urease antigen or urease protein suggests that during development of Itachi seeds there is no synthesis of urease protein or that, at most, its synthesis is 0.2% of wild type (Prize). |
