Puromycin sensitivity of ribosomal label after incorporation of 14C-labelled amino acids into isolated mitochondria from Neurospora crassa.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radioactive amino acids were incorporated into isolated mitochondria from Neurospora crassa. Then the mitochondrial ribosomes were isolated and submitted to density gradient centrifugation. A preferential labelling of polysomes was observed. However, when the mitochondrial suspension was treated with puromycin after amino acid incorporation, no radioactivity could be detected in either the monosomes or the polysomes. The conclusion is drawn that isolated mitochondria under these conditions do not incorporate significant amounts of amino acids into proteins of their ribosomes.

Kinetic studies on the transport of cytoplasmically synthesized proteins into the mitochondria in intact cells of Neurospora crassa.
The transport of cytoplasmically synthesized mitochondrial proteins was investigated in whole cells of Neurospora crassa, using dual labelling and immunological techniques. In pulse and pulse-chase labelling experiments the mitochondrial proteins accumulate label. The appearance of label in mitochondrial protein shows a lag relative to total cellular protein, ribosomal, microsomal and cytosolic...
متن کاملThe dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein of the mitochondrial ATPase complex from Neurospora crassa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Identification and isolation.
Incubation of mitochondria from Neurospora crassa and Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the radioactive ATPase inhibitor [14C]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide results in the irreversible and rather specific labelling of a low-molecular-weight polypeptide. This dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein is identical with the smallest subunit (Mr 8000) of the mitochondrial ATPase complex, and it occurs as olig...

Radioactive amino acids were incorporated in vivo into Neurospora crassa cells, and the mitochondrial ribosomes were isolated. The incorporat,ion of radioactivity into the proteins of these ribosomes was inhibited by cycloheximide, but not by chloramphenicol. It is therefore concluded that these proteins are synthesized on the cycloheximide sensitive and chloramphenicol insensitive cytoplasmic ...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of a Neurospora crassa ribosomal protein gene homologous to CYH2 of yeast.
We have isolated and characterized a Neurospora crassa gene homologous to the yeast CYH2 gene encoding L29, a cycloheximide sensitivity-conferring protein of the cytoplasmic ribosome. The cloned Neurospora gene was isolated by cross-hybridization to CYH2. It was sequenced from both cDNA and genomic clones. The coding region is interrupted by seven intervening sequences. Its deduced amino acid s...

The incorporation of arnino acids into distinct protein fractions of mitochondria from various sources [1-4) including a cytoplasmic mutant of Neurospora crassa [5] has been shown tobe an inherent Capacity of isolated mitochondria in vitro. An independent method for studying this system is affered by the specific inhibition of extramitochondrial protein synthesis in vivo. Cycloheximide is known...
