Mg. Tena et al., SUBCELLULAR-LOCALIZATION OF A BASIC PEROXIDASE ISOENZYME IN CRISPHEADLETTUCE, Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 119(6), 1994, pp. 1276-1278
The subcellular localization of a basic peroxidase (EC 1.11.1.7) isoen
zyme in crisphead lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) leaves was studied throu
gh subcellular fractionation and protoplast and vacuole isolation. Thi
s isoenzyme is mainly located in soluble fractions. Studies using prot
oplast isolation and vacuole purification indicated that the soluble b
asic peroxidase isoenzyme is found in the vacuolar sap, probably in eq
uilibrium with the same isoenzyme attached to tonoplast membranes.
