Actin-bundling protein isolated from pollen tubes of lily. Biochemical and immunocytochemical characterization

abstract：:The ATPase activity of a membrane fraction from soybean (Glycine max L.) root and callus cells, presumed to be enriched in plasma membrane, has been characterized with respect to ion stimulation, pH requirement, and nucleotide specificity. The enzyme from both sources was activated by divalent cations (Mg(2+) > Mn(2+)...
