Fig. 2From: Biochemical properties and subcellular localization of six members of the HXK family in maize and its metabolic contribution to embryo germinationPurified recombinant full and truncated protein versions of maize HXKs, ZmHXK4–9, and the comparison of the N-terminal sequences of the HXKs from A. thaliana, rice and maize. a Western blot of purified recombinant full HXKs (b) N-terminal sequences from HXKs from A. thaliana, rice and maize. The sequence analysis was made by inspection with the aid of the software SeaView [33]. The hydrophobic sequence is approximately 20 amino acids long in several ZmHXKs and it is highly conserved among other HXKs. c Western blots of full and truncated HXK versions that were used to determine the kinetic parameters. The recombinant proteins have a V5 epitope which was detected using the anti-V5-HRP (R961–25, Invitrogen)Back to article page
