Inhibition of UDP-glucose: protein transglucosylase by a maize endosperm protein factor.
UDP-glucose: protein transglucosylase (UPTG, EC 2.4.1.112) catalyzes the first step of protein-bound alpha-glucan synthesis in potato tuber and developing maize endosperm. The presence of a non-dialyzable, heat labile protein responsible for low levels of UPTG activity in developing maize endosperm...
