Abstract: | Among the major soluble tuber proteins of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is a group of glycoproteins having apparent molecular weights of approximately 40,000. This group of proteins as purified by ion-exchange and affinity chromatography has been given the trivial name `patatin.' Patatin exists in a number of charge forms which differ between potato cultivars and in some cases can also be resolved into a number of bands by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. However, by immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis, it was found that the isoforms of patatin are immunologically identical both within a cultivar as well as between cultivars. A high degree of homology between the isoforms of patatin is also indicated by NH2-terminal amino acid sequence analysis. |
