Protein synthesis in halophytes: The influence of potassium, sodium and magnesium in vitro

Protein synthesis in halophytes: The influence of potassium, sodium and magnesium in vitro The amino acid (35S-methionine) incorporating activity of an in vitro wheat germ translation system was found to be maximal in 80 to 125 mol m−3 K with 2 to 4 mol m−3 Mg both as the acetate. Substitution of Na for K, or chloride for acetate at concentrations above 80 mol m−3 inhibited incorporation. When the K acetate concentration was raised to 200 mol m−3, no incorporation of radioactive methionine occurred. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Plant and Soil Springer Journals

Abstract

The amino acid (35S-methionine) incorporating activity of an in vitro wheat germ translation system was found to be maximal in 80 to 125 mol m−3 K with 2 to 4 mol m−3 Mg both as the acetate. Substitution of Na for K, or chloride for acetate at concentrations above 80 mol m−3 inhibited incorporation. When the K acetate concentration was raised to 200 mol m−3, no incorporation of radioactive methionine occurred.
