Abstract
Early work started by Kader’s and Yamada’s groups for the isolation of nonspecific lipid transfer protein (nsLTP) from Spinach leaves (Kader et al. 1984), maize seedlings (Douady et al. 1985) and castor bean seedlings (Watanabe & Yamada 1986). nsLTPs were widely distributed in higher plants. Amino acid analysis of purified nsLTPs indicated that nsLTP was a basic 9 kD-simple protein which contains four disulfide bridges (Takishima et al. 1986, 1988). nsLTP enhanced in vitro transfer of phosphoglycerides and glycoglycerides from donor to acceptor membranes, but did not that of tri- and di-acylglycerol (Watanabe & Yamada 1986, Tsuboi et al. 1992). However, in vitro function of nsLTP by which polar lipids are transferred between biomembranes was questioned from accumulated evidence for the localization and gene expression of nsLTP in plant tissues.
