Molecular Characterization of the Brittle-2 Gene Effect on Maize Endosperm ADPglucose Pyrophosphorylase Subunits.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the maize endosperm ADPglucose pyrophosphorylase is made up of two immunologically dissimilar subunits and that the bt( 2) and sh(2) mutations cause reduction in ADPGLucosepyrophospharylase activity through the lack of one of these two subunits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification and stereospecificity of the first three enzymes of 3-dimethylsulfoniopropionate biosynthesis in a chlorophyte alga

TL;DR: Substrate-specific enzymes catalyzing the first three steps of the DMSP synthesis pathway were detected and partially characterized in cell-free extracts of the chlorophyte alga Enteromorpha intestinalis, and the intermediate DMSHB was shown to act as an osmoprotectant, which indicates that the first four steps may be sufficient to confer osmotolerance.
