(author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)We have identified the major endo-β-l,4-xylanase (XYN-1) in the aleurone of germinating barley grain, and show that it is expressed as a precursor of Mr 61 500 with both N- and C-terminal propeptides. XYN-1 is synthesized as an inactive enzyme in the cytoplasm, and only becomes active at a late stage of germination when the aleurone ceases to...article 2001

Rouster, J. (author), van Mechelen, J. (author), Cameron-Mills, V. (author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)The barley lipoxygenase 1 (Lox1) gene encodes a protein expressed in embryos during grain development and germination and in leaves after methyl-jasmonate (MeJA) treatment. Transient gene expression assays in germinating barley embryos were used to identify cis-regulatory elements involved in the embryo-specific expression of the Lox1 gene....article 1998

van Mechelen, J.R. (author), Smits, M. (author), Douma, A.C. (author), Rouster, J. (author), Cameron-Mills, V. (author), Heidekamp, F. (author), Valk, B.E. (author), Centraal Instituut voor Voedingsonderzoek TNO (author)A full length cDNA sequence for a barley grain lipoxygenase was obtained. It includes a 5' untranslated region of 69 nucleotides, an open reading frame of 2586 nucleotides encoding a protein of 862 amino acid residues and a 3' untranslated region of 142 nucleotides. The molecular mass of the encoded polypeptide was calculated to be 96.392. Its...article 1995
