Purification and Properties of a Protein Which Binds Cytokinin-active 6-Substituted Purines 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

A protein which binds 6-substituted purines of the cytokinin type with relatively high affinity has been extensively purified from wheat germ. Conventional chromatographic techniques, as well as an affinity matrix to which a cytokinin was covalently coupled, were used in the purification. The wheat germ cytokinin-binding protein (CBF-1) has four unlike subunits and an apparent molecular weight of 183,000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
