| Abstract | In pulse-chase experiments in which log-phase cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii were labeled in vivo for 5 min with H2(35)SO4, fluorographs of immunoprecipitates from whole cell extracts revealed that chloroplast ribosomal proteins L-2, L-6, L-21, and L-29, which are made in the cytosol and imported, appeared in their mature forms. However, in the case of chloroplast ribosomal protein L-18, which is also made in the cytoplasm and imported, a prominent precursor with an apparent molecular weight of 17,000 was found at the end of a 5-min pulse. This precursor was processed to its mature size (apparent molecular weight of 15,500) within the first 5 min of the subsequent chase. As determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, the precursor to L-18 formed in vivo was 1.5 kilodaltons smaller than the primary product detected in translations of Chlamydomonas polyadenylated RNA in vitro. Upon a 10-min incubation with a postribosomal supernatant from Chlamydomonas, the 18,500-dalton precursor detected in vitro could be partially converted into a polypeptide that comigrated with the 17,000-dalton precursor detected in extracts of cells labeled in vivo. Under conditions in which the total amounts of chloroplast proteins had been reduced and cells were made to synthesize ribosomes rapidly, the apparent half-life of the 17,000-dalton precursor was extended over that seen in log-phase cells. When chloroplast protein synthesis was inhibited with lincomycin for 3 h before labeling under these conditions, the 17,000-dalton L-18 precursor but not the mature form was found, and the precursor was slowly degraded during a 60-min chase. When cells were placed in the dark for 3 h before labeling, processing of this precursor to the mature form appeared unaffected, but the chloroplast-synthesized ribosomal protein L-26 was detected, indicating that chloroplast protein synthesis was still occurring. We interpret these results to indicate that the maturation of protein L-18 in vivo involves at least two processing steps, one of which depends on a protein made on chloroplast ribosomes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
