RESUMO

The localization of three monooxygenase (hydroxylase) enzyme systems which occur in dark-grown seedlings of Sorghum bicolor has been studied. Cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase (CAH) (trans-cinnamate 4-monooxygenase, EC 1.14.13.11), which has been increasingly utilized in plants as a marker for the endoplasmic reticulum, migrated with that fraction in continuous and discontinuous sucrose gradients. When 10 mm MgCl2 was used to shift the density banding of the marker enzyme, NADPH cytochrome c reductase, from 1.12 to 1.17 g/cm3, the CAH activity was displaced as well.
