Myrosinase is localized to the interior of myrosin grains and is not associated to the surrounding tonoplast membrane

Abstract

The distribution of myrosinase was investigated in embryos of different age of Sinapis alba by immuno electron microscopy. Using a well characterized monoclonal antibody the myrosinase was found to be exclusively localized to the interior of the myrosin grains, a finding in contrast to earlier studies by light microscopy which indicated either a cytoplasmic distribution or an association to the tonoplast membrane surrounding the myrosin grains.
