  • Title: Protein synthesis by isolated etioplasts and chloroplasts from pea and wheat and the effects of chloramphenicol and cycloheximide.
    Author: Reger BJ, Smillie RM, Fuller RC.
    Journal: Plant Physiol; 1972 Jul; 50(1):19-23. PubMed ID: 16658121.
    Abstract:
    Etioplasts capable of incorporating (14)C-leucine into protein have been isolated from dark-grown pea and wheat plants. The requirements for leucine incorporation for etioplasts were similar to those for chloroplasts. An ATP-generating system, Mg(2+), and GTP were required. The amino-acid-incorporation activity of etioplasts from wheat was comparable to that of chloroplasts on an RNA basis, whereas the activity of pea etioplasts was about 50% of the activity of pea chloroplasts. The incorporation of leucine into protein by etioplasts and chloroplasts from pea and wheat was inhibited by chloramphenicol, and to a slight extent by cycloheximide.
