The early-methionine-labeled (Em) polypeptide is the most abundant single polypeptide found in the cytosolic fraction (30,000 .times. g supernatant) of dry wheat embryos. Synthesis of the polypeptide is readily detectable during the earliest stages (0-3 h) of wheat embryo germination, by labeling with [35S]methionine. Thereafter, synthesis of the Em polypeptide declines rapidly. A DNA sequence encoding a portion of this polypeptide was isolated by the molecular cloning of DNA complementary to the mRNA from dry wheat embryos. The identity of this cloned sequence was confirmed by hybrid-selected translation of the Em messenger, the product being analyzed by 1- and 2-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and by analysis of its partial proteolytic digestion products. Gel blot hybridization of RNA isolated from embryos at successive stages of germination with this cloned DNA sequence confirms that the decline in the synthesis of the Em polypeptide, detected by labeling in vivo, is a consequence of the degradation of its corresponding mRNA.
