In Vitro Protein Synthesis by Plastids of Phaseolus vulgaris. I. Localization of Activity in the Chloroplasts of a Chloroplast Containing Fraction from Developing Leaves.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The incorporation of uniformly labeled leucine-(14)C into protein by a chloroplast containing fraction from developing primary leaves of bean is reported. Chloroplasts, obtained from week old plants grown in darkness, and then illuminated with white light for 12 hours, were shown to be the principal sites of incorporating activity. Incorporation may continue for 2 hours. Rates of up to 50 mumumole leucine incorporated per mg protein per hour are observed when a 1 hour assay period is used. Incorporation is only partially sensitive to ribonuclease.

Adenosine triphosphatase of bean plastids: its properties and site of formation.
Extracts of bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) etioplasts and chloroplasts contain a dithiothreitol-activated Ca(2+)-dependent adenosine triphosphatase which is inhibited by Dio-9. The chloroplast and etioplast enzymes have identical R(F) values upon disc gel electrophoresis. Optimum extraction of the enzyme from either plastid preparation is accomplished with 1 mm ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid. P...
متن کاملEffect of Chloramphenicol on Light-Dependent Synthesis of Proteins and Enzymes of Leaves and Chloroplasts of Phaseolus vulgaris.
Etiolated leaves of higher plants acquire the ability to photosynthesize during prolonged irradiation. At the same time, profound morphological and chemical changes occur in the leaf plastids (10). Among these are qualitative and quantitative changes in protein content. Percent protein contained in the plastid fraction of Cichorium (6) and protein content per plastid of Phaseolus (27) increases...
متن کاملIn vitro protein synthesis by plastids of Phaseolus vulgaris. IV. Amino acid incorporation by etioplasts and effect of illumination of leaves on incorporation by plastids.
Protein synthesis in vitro by etioplasts and chloroplasts from Phaseolus vulgaris was examined to study the factors regulating the development of etioplasts into chloroplasts. The properties of incorporation of (14)C-leucine into protein by etioplasts from plants grown 6.5 days in darkness are similar to those of chloroplasts from plants of the same age that were illuminated for 12 hours. Howev...
متن کاملProtein Synthesis in Cbloroplasts CHARACTERISTICS AND PRODUCTS OF PROTEIN SYNTHESIS IN VITRO IN ETIOPLASTS AND DEVELOPING CHLOROPLASTS FROM PEA LEAVES By STUART G. SIDDELL and R. JOHN ELLIS
The function of plastid ribosomes in pea (Pisum sativum L.) was investigated by characterizing the products of protein synthesis in vitro in plastids isolated at different stages during the transition from etioplast to chloroplast. Etioplasts and plastids isolated after 24, 48 and 96h of greening in continuous white light, use added ATP to incorporate labelled amino acids into protein. Plastids...
متن کاملEffect of chloramphenicol on amino Acid incorporation by chloroplasts and comparison with the effect of chloramphenicol on chloroplast development in vivo.
Amino acid incorporation into protein by chloroplasts and chloroplast ribosomes is more sensitive to inhibition by chloramphenicol than amino acid incorporation into protein by cytoplasmic ribosomes (3, 4). Chloramphenicol also inhibits the formation of some chloroplast enzymes without affecting cell division in Euglena (11) or leaf development in bean (8, 9). Chloramphenicol also selectively i...
