Abstract
A cDNA from a sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) library encoded a 56.8 kDa catalase peptide. N-terminal sequence comparisons to peroxisomal h igher molecular weight precursors revealed conserved amino acid motifs around the (putative) cleavage sites. These findings suggest that the 55 kDa catalase in sunflower cotyledons is synthesized at a higher mo lecular weight.
