Abstract excerpt
An in vitro assay system to detect tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase (TPST) activity of higher plant cells was established, using synthetic oligopeptides based on the deduced amino acid sequence of a phytosulfokine-alpha (PSK-alpha) precursor. TPST activity was found in microsomal membrane fractions of rice, asparagus and carrot cells and it was confirmed that acidic amino acid residues adjacent to the tyrosine...
