title: In vitro synthesis of a plant phospholipid transfer protein: a study by high performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: In order to study the biosynthesis of a plant phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP), poly (A)+RNAs have been prepared from maize seedlings and translated in vitro with a rabbit reticulocyte lysate. The newly synthesized proteins were then separated by fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) followed by SDS-PAGE or by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled to a radioactivity detector monitor. It has been showed that a radioactive band comigrating with a 14C methylated pure PLTP was detected by SDS-PAGE. This result, confirmed by direct radioactive monitoring, indicates that PLTP is actively synthesized in vitro.
