title: Evidence for specific, high-affinity binding sites for a proteinaceous elicitor in tobacco plasma membrane.
abstract: Binding of cryptogein, a proteinaceous elicitor, was studied on tobacco plasma membrane. The binding of the [125I]cryptogein was saturable, reversible and specific with an apparent Kd of 2 nM. A single class of cryptogein binding sites was found with a sharp optimum pH for binding at about pH 7.0. The high-affinity correlates with crytogein concentrations required for biological activity in vivo.
