Biosynthesis of ferredoxin in Chlamydomonas reinhardii

J G Huisman et al. Planta. 1979 Jan.

Abstract

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.
