Active cells were havested from the tobacco cell suspension culture. The acid phosphatase of tobacco cells was mostly located in the cell wall and vacuole. Similar zymogram of acid phosphatase revealed in the gradient polyacrylamide gel was observed between the tobacco leaves and their induced-callus. Multiple acid phosphatases of tobacco suspension cells separated by chromatography showed similar substrate specificties to most compounds tested. Zn+2 has differential inhibition on the multiple forms of acid phosphatase of tobacco cells. |
