Abstract

Starch synthetase was solubilized from purified starch granules of ripening grains of rice at the midmilky stage. The procedure consisted of making the granules amorphous and dispersing the amorphous starch by sonication in 75% dimethysulfoxide. A starch synthetase-amylose complex was isolated by discontinuous sucrose density gradient centrifugation, which does not require added primer and can utilize both ADP glucose and UDP glucose. A starch-free protein fraction was obtained by treatment with sodium dodecyl sulfate and β-mercaptoethanol.
