Abstract

The presence of a specific binding site for a hepta-beta-glucoside elicitor of phytoalexin accumulation has been demonstrated in soybean microsomal membranes. A tyramine conjugate of the elicitor-active hepta-beta-glucoside was prepared and radiolabeled with 125I. The labeled hepta-beta-glucoside-tyramine conjugate was used as a ligand in binding assays with a total membrane fraction prepared from soybean roots. Binding of the radiolabeled hepta-beta-glucoside elicitor was saturable, reversible, and with an affinity (apparent Kd = 7.5 x 10(-10) M) comparable with the concentration of hepta-beta-glucoside required for biological activity. A single class of hepta-beta-glucoside binding sites was found. The binding site was inactivated by proteolysis and by heat treatment, suggesting that the binding site is a protein or glycoprotein. Competitive inhibition of binding of the radiolabeled hepta-beta-glucoside elicitor by a number of structurally related oligoglucosides demonstrated a direct correlation between the binding affinities and the elicitor activities of these oligoglucosides. Thus, the hepta-beta-glucoside-binding protein fulfills criteria expected of a bona fide receptor for the elicitor-active oligosaccharin.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
