Complete Amino Acid Sequence of a Polypeptide from Zea mays Similar to the Pathogenesis-Related-1 Family.
A polypeptide serologically related to the tobacco pathogenesis-related-1 family of proteins has been purified from the root tissue of maize (Zea mays L.), and the complete amino acid sequence has been determined. The mature protein has a calculated molecular weight of 14,970 and isoelectric point of 4.2. The maize protein shows 66 to 68% amino acid identity with the tobacco pathogenesis-related-1 family and 55% identity with the tomato p14 protein.
