Abstract
The present invention provides a purified, homogeneous plant enzyme that adds a β-1,2-linked xylose to the β-inked mannose on the N-linked oligosaccharides of storage glycoproteins. This β1,2-xylosyltransferase was purified from the microsomal fraction of soybean cells approximately 51,000-fold. Also provided is polyclonal antiserum recognizing this β1,2-xylosyltransferase enzyme and uses thereof.
Claims8
