Abstract

Recently we have shown that cultured cells of the higher plant Corydalis sempervirens Pers., adapted to growth in the presence of high concentrations of the herbicide glyphosate, a potent specific inhibitor of the shikimate pathway enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimic acid 3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase (EC 2.5.1.19, 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase) oversynthesize the EPSP synthase protein (Smart et al., 1985, J. Biol. Chem. 260, 16338-16346). We now report that the EPSP synthase protein can be detected in cells of the adapted as well as of the non-adapted strain by the use of protein A-colloidal gold immunocytochemistry. The overproduced EPSP synthase in the glyphosate-adapted cells is located exclusively in the plastid and we find no evidence for the existence of extra-plastidic EPSP synthase in either strain.
