Protein synthesis in plant mitochondria.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Plant mitochondria can incorporate amino acids into protein (1, 2), but the details of the process are lacking, although the situation is somewhat clearer with mitochondria from animal source (3-6). The present paper is concerned with the incorporation of amino acids by the mitochondria from the seedlings of Vigna &ens-is (Linn.) Savi and also with the role of the microsomal fraction in this process. A preliminary report had been published (7).

Cryopreservation of Plant Mitochondria as a Tool for Protein Import or in Organello Protein Synthesis Studies.
Cryopreserved chloroplasts and thylakoids have recently been proven to be suitable for protein import and integration assays. The possibility of recovering intact plant mitochondria after storage would also facilitate a wide range of investigations that are currently underway on the molecular biology of these organelles, e.g. mitochondrial transcription, RNA editing, in organello protein synthe...
متن کاملThe effect of 6-deoxyclitoriacetal from Clitoria macrophylla Wall. on rat liver mitochondrial respiration and ATPase activity
A Thai plant Clitoria macrophylla Wall. was claimed to possess some pharmacological activities. The phytochemical studies reported a rotenoid compound, 6-deoxyclitoriacetal, which exhibits the cytotoxic effect in several cell line experiments. This report was to study the effect of 6-deoxyclitoriacetal on rat liver mitochondria, which may associated to its cytotoxic phenomena. Mitochondrial sus...

متن کاملProtein Synthesis in Isolated Mitochondria of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Seedlings.
For studies of in organello mitochondrial protein synthesis in rice, Oryza sativa L., conventional surface-sterilization procedures were demonstrated to be ineffective. Because of the over-whelmingly efficient [(35)S]methionine utilization by contaminating bacteria, even "essentially bacteria-free" rice mitochondria were shown to be unsuitable for the study of in organello protein synthesis. We...
متن کاملEffects of anoxia on mitochondrial biogenesis in rice shoots: modification of in organello translation characteristics.
Shoots of germinating rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedlings are able to grow under anoxia and to withstand long periods of anoxic treatment. Mitochondria were purified from aerobically germinated and anaerobically treated rice shoots by differential and isopycnic centrifugation and were found to consist of two subpopulations. The mitochondrial subpopulation of higher density was used for further cha...
متن کاملArabidopsis nitric oxide synthase1 is targeted to mitochondria and protects against oxidative damage and dark-induced senescence.
The Arabidopsis thaliana protein nitric oxide synthase1 (NOS1) is needed for nitric oxide (NO) synthesis and signaling during defense responses, hormonal signaling, and flowering. The cellular localization of NOS1 was examined because it is predicted to be a mitochondrial protein. NOS1-green fluorescent protein fusions were localized by confocal microscopy to mitochondria in roots. Isolated mit...
