A Wound-Inducible Glycine-Rich Protein from Daucus carota with Homology to Single-Stranded Nucleic Acid-Binding Proteins.
A cDNA clone was isolated that encodes a wound-inducible glycine-rich protein. The homology of the carrot (Daucus carota) protein with the A1 protein of the heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein complex suggests that the polypeptide plays a role in the biosynthesis and processing of heterogeneous nuclear RNA and in the maturation of specific mRNAs in response to wounding.
