Effect of chloramphenicol and cycloheximide on the induction of nitrate reductase and nitrite reductase in bean leaves 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
C. M. Th. Sluiters-Scholten 《Planta》1973,113(3):229-240
Summary In etiolated leaves of Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Prelude only low levels of NADH-nitrate oxidoreductase (E.C. 1.6.6.2; NAR) and reduced benzyl viologen-nitrite oxidoreductase (E.C. 1.6.6.4; NIR) could be detected, even in the presence of nitrate. When nitrate was available illumination of leaves of 10-day-old etiolated seedlings resulted in an induction of both NAR and NIR. In the absence of nitrate no induction of the enzymes took place, although greening of the leaves was normal. Chloramphenicol (CAP) and cycloheximide (CHI), applied at the beginning of the light period, inhibited the induction of both NAR and NIR. Administered after 24 h of illumination CHI still inhibited the induction of both enzymes whereas CAP was no longer inhibitory. The induction of NAR and NIR by nitrate in green leaves in light was inhibited by CHI but not by CAP. From these results it seems likely that both the enzymes NAR and NIR are synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes. Before the enzymes can be manufactured in the cytoplasm some chloroplast development is required.Abbreviations CAP

The selective action of the antibiotics chloramphenicol and cycloheximide on the synthesis of ferredoxin in liquid cultures of Chlamydomonas reinhardii was studied. Highly specific antibodies raised against Chlamydomonas ferredoxin were used to determine the in vivo synthesis of apoferredoxin and conversion into native protein. The results indicate that 80S ribosomes are involved in the synthesis. Chlamydomonas cells growing in the absence of iron did not synthesize immunologically detectable amounts of ferredoxin. We suggest that this is based upon feed-back inhibition of apoferredoxin synthesis at the translational level.Abbreviations CAP

Selective effects of lincomysin and cycloheximide in detached shoots of Pisum sativum on the synthesis of photosystem I and II proteins, and a chloroplast membrane protein of molecular weight 32000, confirm results obtained from studies of protein synthesis by isolated chloroplasts. A model is proposed in which one role of chloroplast ribosomes is to synthesize membrane proteins required for the immobilization of chloroplast components, such as photosystem I protein, which are synthesized by cytoplasmic ribosomes. 2-(4-Methyl-2,6-dinitroanilino)-N-methylpropionamide rapidly inhibits the synthesis of both the large and small subunits of Fraction I protein in greening detached pea shoots. This observation can be reconciled with the site of synthesis of the large subunit being in the chloroplast by a model which proposes that the small subunit is a positive initiation factor for the synthesis or translation of the messenger RNA for the large subunit. 相似文献

The ac-20 mutant strain of the unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardii, lacks both chloroplast ribosomes and ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase activity when grown on organic medium. Under these conditions, the cells do not posses pools of either the large or small subunit of this enzyme. When transferred to inorganic medium, the carboxylase activity recovers. During this recovery, de novo synthesis of both subunits occurs. Synthesis of both subunits is inhibited by chloramphenicol even when possible free subunit pools rather than just the subunits incorporated into whole enzyme are examined.Abbreviations RubP

Ferredoxin (Fd) and Fd-NADP(+) reductase (FNR) are redox partners responsible for the conversion between NADP(+) and NADPH in the plastids of photosynthetic organisms. Introduction of specific disulfide bonds between Fd and FNR by engineering cysteines into the two proteins resulted in 13 different Fd-FNR cross-linked complexes displaying a broad range of activity to catalyze the NADPH-dependent cytochrome c reduction. This variability in activity was thought to be mainly due to different levels of intramolecular electron transfer activity between the FNR and Fd domains. Stopped-flow analysis revealed such differences in the rate of electron transfer from the FNR to Fd domains in some of the cross-linked complexes. A group of the cross-linked complexes with high cytochrome c reduction activity comparable to dissociable wild-type Fd/FNR was shown to assume a similar Fd-FNR interaction mode as in the native Fd:FNR complex by analyses of NMR chemical shift perturbation and absorption spectroscopy. However, the intermolecular electron transfer of these cross-linked complexes with two Fd-binding proteins, nitrite reductase and photosystem I, was largely inhibited, most probably due to steric hindrance by the FNR moiety linked near the redox center of the Fd domain. In contrast, another group of the cross-linked complexes with low cytochrome c reduction activity tends to mediate higher intermolecular electron transfer activity. Therefore, reciprocal relationship of intramolecular and intermolecular electron transfer abilities was conferred by the linkage of Fd and FNR, which may explain the physiological significance of the separate forms of Fd and FNR in chloroplasts. 相似文献

Ribosomal protein synthesis during chloroplast development in Euglena gracilis has been studied by using inhibitors specific for either chloroplast or cytoplasmic protein syntheses. Fifty proteins of cytoplasmic and 39 of chloroplast ribosomes have been examined. Synthesis of all cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins is strongly inhibited by cycloheximide. Lincomycin (LIN) seems to have no effect on the synthesis of these proteins. In contrast, formation of 12 chloroplast ribosomal proteins is inhibited by cycloheximide (CHI), that of 9 by lincomycin, and that of 6 by both of these antibiotics; the technique used in this study did not permit definite determination of the sites of synthesis of the remaining proteins. 相似文献

The chloroplast protein synthesis factor responsible for the translocation step of polypeptide synthesis on chloroplast ribosomes (chloroplast elongation factor G [EF-G]) has been detected in whole cell extracts and in isolated chloroplasts from Euglena gracilis. This factor can be detected by its ability to catalyze translocation on 70 S prokaryotic ribosomes such as those from E. coli. Chloroplast EF-G is present in low levels when Euglena is grown in the dark and can be induced more than 20-fold when the organism is grown in the light. The induction of this factor by light is inhibited by cycloheximide, a specific inhibitor of protein synthesis on cytoplasmic ribosomes. However, inhibitors of chloroplast protein synthesis such as streptomycin or spectinomycin have no effect on the induction of this factor by light. Furthermore, chloroplast EF-G can be partially induced by light in an aplastidic mutant (strain W3BUL) which has neither significant plastid structure nor detectable chloroplast DNA. These data strongly suggest that the genetic information for chloroplast EF-G resides in the nuclear genome, and that this protein is synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes prior to compartmentalization within the chloroplasts. 相似文献

The preparation of a rabbit antibody to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (RuBPCase) from Euglena gracilis and its use to quantitate RuBPCase in dark- and light-grown cells and during light-induced chloroplast development (greening) are described. Light-grown Euglena have at least 36 times more RuBPCase than dark-grown Euglena. Light is required for both the initiation and continued increase in net synthesis of RuBPCase over the dark level: brief illumination 12 hours before exposure to continuous light eliminates the lags in the accumulation and increase in activity of RuBPCase (as well as in chlorophyll accumulation); net synthesis is blocked in greening cells returned to the dark or exposed to 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea. Streptomycin or cycloheximide prevents RuBPCase accumulation when added at the beginning of greening but only partially blocks accumulation when added after 25 hours of greening. After 24 hours of greening, the activity of RuBPCase per milligram chlorophyll continues to increase slowly while concentration of the enzyme per milligram chlorophyll remains constant. This increased activity may be due to activation of the enzyme as well as to net synthesis. 相似文献

Effects of protein synthesis inhibitors, CAP and CHI, on diegreening of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii y-1 cells, particularlyon die P-factor formation (19) in the early phase, were studied.Chlorophyll synthesis in the normal greening process, whichis divided into three phases, was strongly inhibited by bothantibiotics, although the inhibition by CAP was weaker in themiddle and late phases. The development of potential for rapidchlorophyll formation (P-factor formation) that takes placein dark-grown cells during dark incubation following brief illuminationwas completely blocked by CHI, but not by CAP. A "CHI-sensitive"period for the P-factor formation was restricted to the initial30 min during the dark incubation following brief illumination(10 min). This initial 30-min period appeared to correspondto the time of protochlorophyll(ide) formation which was inhibitedby CHI. Light-dependent conversion of protochlorophyll(ide) to chlorophylland also the subsequent protochlorophyll(ide) synthesis, whichis "CHI-sensitive" seem to be prerequisite for the inductionof P-factor synthesis. A possible control mechanism involvedin the early phase of the greening process in y-1 cells is discussed. (Received February 12, 1976; ) 相似文献

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 isolated from greening leaves can also use light as the source of energy for protein synthesis. The labelled polypeptides synthesized in isolated plastids were analysed by electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulphate-ureapolyacrylamide gels. Six polypeptides are synthesized in etioplasts with ATP as energy source. Only one of these polypeptides is present in a 150 000g supernatant fraction. This polypeptide has been identified as the large subunit of Fraction I protein (3-phospho-D-glycerate carboxylyase EC 4.1.1.39) by comparing the tryptic 'map' of its L-(35S)methionine-labelled peptides with the tryptic 'map' of large subunit peptides from Fraction I labelled with L-(35S)methionine in vivo. The same gel pattern of six polypeptides is seen when plastids isolated from greening leaves are incubated with either added ATP or light as the energy source. However, the rates of synthesis of particular polypeptides are different in plastids isolated at different stages of the etioplast to chloroplast transition. The results support the idea that plastid ribosomes synthesize only a small number of proteins, and that the number and molecular weight of these proteins does not alter during the formation of chloroplasts from etioplasts. 相似文献

Light induction of chloroplast development in Euglena leads to quantitative changes in the protein composition of the soluble cell part. One major part of these is the observed accumulation of ribulose-1.5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBPCase) enzyme (EC 4.1.1.39). As measured by immunoelectrophoresis, a small amount of RuBPCase (about 10-6 pmol) is present in a dark-grown cell, whereas a greening cell (72h) contains 10–20 pmol enzyme. Both the cytoplasmic and chloroplastic translation inhibitors, cycloheximide and spectinomycin, have a strong inhibitory effect on the synthesis of the enzyme throughout the greening process of Euglena cells. Electrophoretic and immunological analyses of the soluble phase prepared from etiolated or greening cells do not show the presence of free subunits of the enzyme. For each antibiotic-treated greening cell, the syntheses of both subunits are blocked. Our data indicate that tight reciprocal control between the syntheses of the two classes of subunits occurs in Euglena. In particular, the RuBPCase small subunit synthesis in greening Euglena seems more dependent on the protein synthesis activity of the chloroplast than the syntheses of other stromal proteins from cytoplasmic origin.Abbreviations LSU

The effects of the antibiotics chloramphenicol and cycloheximideon the ultrastructure of the chloroplast in greening cells ofEuglena gracilis strain Z have been investigated. The rate ofchloroplaat development in the presence of either antibioticwas closely related to that of chlorophyll production. Chloramphenicol,which at 10 mg/ml inhibits chlorophyll synthesis but not celldivision, caused a marked inhibition of the development of chloroplaststructure. The chloroplasts were smaller than those of untreatedcells and contained a smaller number of internal lamellae. Mostof these lamellae were not appressed and the results supportthe suggestion that chloramphenicol inhibits the synthesis ofa protein responsible for the fusion of individual lamellaein the chloroplast. Measurement of the photochemical activityof chloroplasts isolated from chloramphenicol-treated cellsshowed that the photoreduction of NADP from water (photosystemI+II), photosystem II activity, and photosystem I activity weregreatly inhibited when compared with chloroplasts from untreatedcells. In contrast, cycloheximide at 2.5 to 5.0 µg/mlinhibited cell division but allowed the chloroplasts to developafter a lag phase, the length of which was related to the concentrationof antibiotic employed. The number of lamellae per chloroplastand the degree of appression of the lamellae in chloroplastsof cycloheximide-treated cells and untreated cells were comparable.After 48-h illumination the photochemical activities of chloroplastsisolated from cycloheximide-treated cells were about 50 percent of those of the untreated cells. 相似文献

The development of glycolate pathway enzymes has been determined in relation to photosynthetic competence during the regreening of Euglena cultures. Phosphoglycolate phosphatase and glycolate dehydrogenase rapidly reached maximal levels of activity but the complete development of ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase and concomitant photosynthetic carbon dioxide fixation were not attained until 72 hours of illumination. Specific inhibitors of protein synthesis showed that the formation of ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase in both division-synchronized and regreening cultures was prevented by both cycloheximide and d-threo-chloramphenicol, whereas phosphoglycolate phosphatase formation was only inhibited by d-threo-chloramphenicol but not by l-threo-chloramphenicol or cycloheximide. Since cycloheximide prevented ribulose diphosphate carboxylase synthesis and photosynthetic carbon dioxide fixation without affecting phosphoglycolate phosphatase synthesis during regreening, it was concluded that photosynthetic competence was not necessary for the development of the glycolate pathway enzymes. The inhibition of phosphoglycolate phosphatase synthesis by d-threo-chloramphenicol but not by l-threo-chloramphenicol or cycloheximide shows that the enzyme was synthesized exclusively on chloroplast ribosomes, whereas protein synthesis on both chloroplast and cytoplasmic ribosomes was required for the formation of ribulose 1,5-diphosphate carboxylase. Although light is required for the development of both Calvin cycle and glycolate pathway enzymes during regreening it is concluded that the two pathways are not coordinately regulated. 相似文献

Ferredoxin-NADP reductase from Euglena gracilis Klebs var. Bacillaris Cori purified to apparent homogeneity, yields a typical 36 kDa and an unusual 15 kDa polypeptide on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, exhibits a typical flavoprotein spectrum, contains FAD, and catalyzes NADPH-dependent iodonitrotetrazolium-violet diaphorase, NADPH-specific ferredoxin-dependent cytochrome-c-550 reductase and NADPH-NAD transhydrogenase activities. Rabbit antibody to the purified FNR blocks these activities specifically and also blocks the iodonitrotetrazolium-violet diaphorase activity of Euglena chloroplasts completely. The low iodonitrotetrazolium-violet diaphorase activity in the plastidless mutant, W10BSmL, is mitochondrial and is not specifically blocked by the ferredoxin-NADP reductase antibody. Dark-grown non-dividing (resting) wild-type Euglena cells show a 4-fold increase in ferredoxin-NADP reductase activity during greening at 970 lx. Half of the low ferredoxin-NADP reductase activity in dark-grown cells is initially soluble, but by the end of chloroplast development nearly all of the enzyme is membrane-bound. The binding of ferredoxin-NADP reductase on exposure to light correlates with the extent of thylakoid membrane formation. Immunoblots of wild-type extracts during greening indicate that the 15 kDa polypeptide increases in the same manner as the extent of reductase binding to thylakoid membranes. 相似文献

Ferredoxin-NADP(H) reductase (FNR) catalyzes the last step of photosynthetic electron transport in chloroplasts, driving electrons from reduced ferredoxin to NADP+. This reaction is rate limiting for photosynthesis under a wide range of illumination conditions, as revealed by analysis of plants transformed with an antisense version of the FNR gene. To investigate whether accumulation of this flavoprotein over wild-type levels could improve photosynthetic efficiency and growth, we generated transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants expressing a pea (Pisum sativum) FNR targeted to chloroplasts. The alien product distributed between the thylakoid membranes and the chloroplast stroma. Transformants grown at 150 or 700 micromol quanta m(-2) s(-1) displayed wild-type phenotypes regardless of FNR content. Thylakoids isolated from plants with a 5-fold FNR increase over the wild type displayed only moderate stimulation (approximately 20%) in the rates of electron transport from water to NADP+. In contrast, when donors of photosystem I were used to drive NADP+ photoreduction, the activity was 3- to 4-fold higher than the wild-type controls. Plants expressing various levels of FNR (from 1- to 3.6-fold over the wild type) failed to show significant differences in CO2 assimilation rates when assayed over a range of light intensities and CO2 concentrations. Transgenic lines exhibited enhanced tolerance to photooxidative damage and redox-cycling herbicides that propagate reactive oxygen species. The results suggest that photosynthetic electron transport has several rate-limiting steps, with FNR catalyzing just one of them. 相似文献

Synthetic abilities of Euglena chloroplasts in darkness 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Protein synthesis, normally a light-dependent process in isolated mature chloroplasts of Euglena gracilis var. bacillaris will take place in darkness if ATP and Mg2+ (ATP/Mg) are supplied. Either 5 or 10 mM ATP plus 15 mM MgCl2 are optimal and rates equal to those in the light can be obtained. Since ATP and Mg2+ are not stoichiometrically related, and since the optimal Mg2+ concentration is similar to that which stabilizes chloroplast ribosomes in vitro, it is suggested that the chloroplast is freely permeable to Mg2+ under these conditions. Protein synthesis under these conditions is not inhibited appreciably by DCMU, FCCP, cycloheximide, or by the addition of ribonuclease, but is highly sensitive to chloramphenicol. Carbon dioxide fixation is also a light-dependent process in isolated mature chloroplasts from Euglena, but addition of ATP (5 mM) and fructose bisphosphate (5 mM) plus aldolase (1.0 unit/ml) (fructose-1,6-bisphosphate/aldolase) yields CO2 fixation rates in darkness that are 43% of those normally obtained in the light. Mg2+ higher than 1.0 mM (e.g., 16 mM) is somewhat inhibitory. Chlorophyll synthesis from 5-aminolevulinate in 36 h developing chloroplasts from Euglena is also light-dependent, but addition of ATP/Mg and fructose-1,6-bis-phosphate/aldolase in darkness brings about the accumulation of a compound having the same RF on chromatography as protochlorophyllide from Barley; a subsequent brief illumination of the chloroplasts converts this compound to a compound with the RF of chlorophyll. Thus Euglena chloroplasts supplied with appropriate additions can carry out protein synthesis, carbon dioxide fixation and most of chlorophyll synthesis in darkness. This versatility is appropriate in photosynthetic organelles isolated from photo-organotrophic cells. 相似文献

Ferredoxin-dependent glutamate synthase (Fd-GOGAT; EC 1.4.7.1) is the last enzyme involved in the pathway of nitrate assimilation in higher plants. This paper describes the synthesis and expression of the enzyme in anaerobic coleoptiles of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and its regulation by exogenous nitrate. The activity of Fd-GOGAT was strongly inhibited by cycloheximide between 4 and 9 d of anaerobic germination. The addition of nitrate slightly increased, in the first 5 h, the specific activity of Fd-GOGAT as well as the amount of a 160-kDa protein specifically immunoprecipitated with anti-Fd-GOGAT serum. Northern blot analysis, performed with a specific riboprobe, showed the presence of mRNA of the expected size and the inductive effect of nitrate. The role of Fd-GOGAT is discussed in relation to the anaerobic assimilation of nitrate by rice coleoptiles.Abbreviations CHX

The synthesis of sigma-aminolevulinate dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.24) in green or greening barley shoots was shown to increase, when the plants were grown on chloramphenicol solutions of varying concentrations for 48 hrs upon illumination. This was evidenced from the increase in the enzyme activity of the chloroplast preparations isolated from the shoots as compared to the controls grown in aqueous media. Similar treatment by cycloheximide resulted in inhibition of the enzyme synthesis as observed in the experiments with green and greening shoots. The activity of porphobilinogenase (the porphobilinogene deaminase and uroporphirinogene III cosynthetase complex) showed similar dependence on the effect of the antibiotics. The results obtained are discussed in terms of localization of the chloroplast enzyme syntheses inside the cell. 相似文献

The effect of chloramphenicol (CAP) on cell division and organelle ultrastructure was studied during light-induced chloroplast development in the Chrysophyte alga, Ochromonas danica. Since the growth rate of the CAP-treated cells is the same as that of the control cells for the first 12 hr in the light, CAP is presumed to be acting during that interval solely by inhibiting protein synthesis on chloroplast and mitochondrial ribosomes. CAP markedly inhibits chloroplast growth and differentiation. During the first 12 hr in the light, chlorophyll synthesis is inhibited by 93%, the formation of new thylakoid membranes is reduced by 91%, and the synthesis of chloroplast ribosomes is inhibited by 81%. Other chloroplast-associated abnormalities which occur during the first 12 hr and become more pronounced with extended CAP treatment are the presence of prolamellar bodies and of abnormal stacks of thylakoids, the proliferation of the perinuclear reticulum, and the accumulation of dense granular material between the chloroplast envelope and the chloroplast endoplasmic reticulum. CAP also causes a progressive loss of the mitochondrial cristae, which is paralleled by a decline in the growth rate of the cells, but it has no effect on the synthesis of mitochondrial ribosomes. We postulate that one or more chloroplast ribosomal proteins are synthesized on chloroplast ribosomes, whereas mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes. 相似文献
