Abstract
Nitrate and nitrate-less barley ( Hordeum vulgare cv Golden Promise) shoot extracts were examined by Sephadex G200 gel filtration and sucrose density gradient analysis and the MWs of NR and CR species present were determined from their Stokes radii and sedimentation coefficients by the method of Siegel and Monty. Nitrate-less plant extracts possessed a CR species of MW 27 800 whilst nitrate-plant extracts possessed CR species of MW 203 000, 61 000, 40 000 and 27 800. The MW 203 000 CR species was associated with NADH-NR, FMNH-NR and MV°-NR activities and represents the NR complex. The MW 40 000 and 61 000 CR species were shown to be derived from the NR complex. We suggest that the MW 40 000 and 61 000 CR species represent either subunits of the NR complex or domains cleaved from the intact NR complex by endogenous proteinases.
