Abstract

Polyadenylated mRNA was isolated from germinating watermelon cotyledons and translated in a wheat germ protein synthesizing system. The synthesis of glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase was detected by direct immunoprecipitation and electrophoretic analysis of the precipitate. In addition to a small amount of the authentic isoenzyme (subunit molecular weight = 33 000), the major part of the incorporated [35S] methionine was observed in a polypeptide with a molecular weight of 38 000. The possible role of the larger molecule as a precursor of glyoxysomal malate dehydrogenase is discussed.
