Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 植物學系 === 85 === AbstractP-proteins are groups of protein expressed specifically in the phloem. Their biological function have been not well defined so far. A polyclonal antibody against 24 kDa phloem protein was prepared in our previous study. In the present study, phloem proteins from Luffa cylindrica were separated with SDS-PAGE and 2-D electrophoresis. There are four groups of phloem protein in SDS-PAGE profile. A major band at 24 kDa and some minor bands can be identified by the polyclonal antibody. Most fruit phloem exudate protein are acidic in 2-D gel. Immunoblotting study showed that 4-6 spots at 24 kDa with pI ranging from 4 to 5.2 are detected. The antibody of pepo 24 kDa also recognized the similar proteins expressed in a three-day- old seedling and in xylem sap. A 24 kDa protein with pI 5.2 obtained from 2-D gel have 16 kinds of amino acids with high contain of glycine (12.3%) aspartic acid(8.9%) and glutamic acid (7.2%). The N-terminal sequencing is totally blocked. Further cleavage of 24 kDa by CNBr was tested and peptide fragments were transferred to VDF membrane for sequence analysis.
