Microsomal. membranes were prepared from etiolated pea (Pisum sativum L.) epicotyls and used to form nascent [Uronic acid-C-14] pectin. The enzyme products were characterized by selective enzymic degradation, get permeation chromatography and analysis of cellulose binding properties. The product obtained had a molecular weight of around 40 kDa, which was significantly tower than that of nascent [Gal-C-14] pectin prepared from the same tissues. It is composed mainly of polygalacturonan and perhaps also rhamnogalacturonan (RG-1). Evidence was obtained for the presence of a protein attached to the nascent [Uronic acid-C-14] pectin, but it was unaffected by endoglucanase and did not bind to cellulose. Hence, no xyloglucan appeared to be attached to the nascent [Uronic acid-C-14] pectin. A model. is proposed in which xyloglucan is attached to nascent pectin after formation of homogalacturonan, but before the pectin leaves the Golgi apparatus. (c) 2006 Elsevier GmbH.
