A defective signal peptide tethers the floury-2 zein to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

Plant physiology - 1 May 1997

Gillikin J W, Zhang F, Coleman C E, Bass H W, Larkins B A, Boston R S

Abstract excerpt

The maize (Zea mays L.) floury-2 (fl2) mutation is associated with a general decrease in storage protein synthesis, altered protein body morphology, and the synthesis of a novel 24-kD alpha-zein storage protein. Unlike storage proteins in normal kernels and the majority of storage proteins in fl2 kernels, the 24-kD alpha-zein contains a signal peptide that would normally be removed during protein synthesis and...
