What is The Occurrence of Leghemoglobin Protein in the Uninfected Interstitial Cells of Soybean Root Nodules about?
The distribution of leghemoglobin (Lb) in resin-embedded root nodules of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) was investigated using immunogold labeling. Using anti-Lb immunoglobulin G and protein A-gold, Lb or its apoprotein was detected both in cells infected by Bradyrhizobium japonicum and in uninfected interstitial cells. Leghemoglobin was present in the cytoplasm, exclusive of the organelles, and in the nuclei of both cell types. In a comparison of the density of labeling in adjacent pairs of infected and uninfected cells, Lb was found to be about four times more concentrated in infected cells. This is the first report of Lb in uninfected cells of any legume nodule; it raises the possibility that this important nodule-specific protein may participate in mediating oxygen flow to host plant organelles throughout the infected region of the nodule.
