Figure Lengend Snippet: Western blot analysis carried out on the microsomal fraction extracted from the root tissue of maize seedlings treated with NO 3 – for the indicated times. (A) Western blot analysis performed using anti-PM H + -ATPase (upper panel), anti-NRT2.1 (middle panel) or anti-NRT3.1A (lower panel) antibodies. The same amount of proteins was loaded in each lane. The protein molecular weights were estimated using the ECL TM Plex Fluorescent Rainbow Markers (GE Healthcare Life Sciences). (B) Densitometric analysis of PM H + -ATPase, NRT2.1, and NRT3.1A. Data are expressed as ratio of the corresponding 0 h sample (signals were quantified using Quantity One software, Bio-Rad). Data are the means ± SE, n = 3.

Article Snippet: The resulting mixture was treated at 37°C for 20 min. For the analysis of NRT2 and NRT3, a second buffer was used (0.05 M Tris-HCl, pH 6.8, 4% (w/v) SDS, 12% (w/v) glycerol, 2% (v/v) 2- mercaptoethanol, and 0.05% (w/v) bromophenol blue), and samples were boiled for 5 min. Five micrograms of ECL TM Plex Fluorescent Rainbow Markers (GE Healthcare Amersham TM ) were used for each SDS-PAGE analysis.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Separation of PM H + -ATPase complexes by non-denaturing Deriphat-PAGE followed by SDS-PAGE. (A) Western blot analysis performed using antibodies anti-PM H + -ATPase. The molecular weight of each protein marker (ECL Plex Fluorescent Rainbow Markers) was reported on the right side. (B) Densitometric analysis of PM H + -ATPase. Data are expressed as ratio of corresponding 0 h sample considering the sum of all three forms (signals were quantified using PDQuest TM 2-D Analysis Software, Bio-Rad). Data are the means ± SE, n = 3.
