    Notizen: Summary Antibodies to individual chloroplast ribosomal (r-)proteins ofChlamydomonas reinhardtii synthesized in either the chloroplast or the cytoplasm were used to examine the relatedness ofChlamydomonas r-proteins to r-proteins from the spinach (Spinacia oleracea) chloroplast,Escherichia coli, and the cyanobacteriumAnabaena 7120. In addition,35S-labeled chloroplast r-proteins from large and small subunits ofC. reinhardtii were coelectrophoresed on 2-D gels with unlabeled r-proteins from similar subunits of spinach chloroplasts,E. coli, andAnabaena to compare their size and net charge. Comigrating protein pairs were not always immunologically related, whereas immunologically related r-protein pairs often did not comigrate but differed only slightly in charge and molecular weight. In constrast, when35S-labeled chloroplast r-proteins from large and small subunits of a closely related speciesC. smithii were coelectrophoresed with unlabeledC. reinhardtii chloroplast r-proteins, only one pair of proteins from each subunit showed a net displacement in mobility. Analysis of immunoblots of one-dimensional SDS and two-dimensional urea/SDS gels of large and small subunit r-proteins from these species revealed more antigenic conservation among the four species of large subunit r-proteins than small subunit r-proteins.Anabaena r-proteins showed the greatest immunological similarity toC. reinhardtii chloroplast r-proteins. In general, antisera made against chloroplast-synthesized r-proteins inC. reinhardtii showed much higher levels of cross-reactivity with r-proteins fromAnabaena, spinach, andE. coli than did antisera to cytoplasmically synthesized r-proteins. All spinach r-proteins that cross-reacted with antisera to chloroplast-synthesized r-proteins ofC. reinhardtii are known to be made in the chloroplast (Dorne et al. 1984b). FourE. coli r-proteins encoded by the S10 operon (L2, S3, L16, and L23) were found to be conserved immunologically among the four species. Two of the large subunit r-proteins, L2 and L16, are essential for peptidyltransferase activity. The third (L23) and two otherE. coli large subunit r-proteins (L5 and L27) that have immunological equivalents among the four species are functionally related to but not essential for peptidyltransferase activity.

    Notizen: Summary The respiratory deficient dum-1 mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii fails to grow in the dark because of a terminal 1.5 kb deletion in the linear 15.8 kb mitochondrial genome, which affects the apocytochrome b (CYB) gene. In contrast to the wild type where only mitochondrial genomes of monomer length are observed, the dum-1 genomes are present as a mixture of monomer and dimer length molecules. The mutant dimers appear to result from head-to-head fusions of two deleted molecules. Furthermore, mitochondrial genomes of dum-1 were also found to be unstable, with the extent of the deletion varying among single cell clones from the original mutant population. The dum-1 mutant also segregates, at a frequency of ca. 4% per generation, lethal minute colonies in which the original deletion now extends at least into the adjacent gene encoding subunit four of NAD dehydrogenase (ND4). We have used the dum-1 mutant as a recipient to demonstrate stable mitochondrial transformation in C. reinhardtii employing the biolistic method. After 4 to 8 weeks dark incubation, a total of 22 respiratory competent colonies were isolated from plates of dum-1 cells bombarded with C. reinhardtii mitochondrial DNA (frequency 7.3 × 10−7) and a single colony was isolated from plates bombarded with C. smithii mitochondrial DNA (frequency 0.8 × 10−7). No colonies were seen on control plates (frequency 〈 0.96 × 10−9). All transformants grew normally in the dark on acetate media; 22 transformants were homoplasmic for the wild-type mitochondrial genome typical of the C. reinhardtii donor. The single transformant obtained from the C. smithii donor had a recombinant mitochondrial genome containing the donor CYB gene and the diagnostic HpaI and XbaI restriction sites in the gene encoding subunit I of cytochrome oxidase (COI) from the C. reinhardtii recipient. The characteristic deletion fragments of the dum-1 recipient were not detected in any of the transformants.

    Notizen: Abstract The ribosomal protein gene rps4 was cloned and sequenced from the chloroplast genome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. The N-terminal 213 amino acid residues of the S4 protein are encoded in the single-copy region (SCR) of the genome, while the C-terminal 44 amino acid residues are encoded in the inverted repeat (IR). The deduced 257 amino acid sequence of C. reinhardtii S4 is considerably longer (by 51–59 residues) than S4 proteins of other photosynthetic species and Escherichia coli, due to the presence of two internal insertions and a C-terminal extension. A short conserved C-terminal motif found in all other S4 proteins examined is missing from the C. reinhardtii protein. In E. coli, mutations in the S4 protein suppress the streptomycin-dependent (sd) phenotype of mutations in the S12 protein. Because we have been unable to identify similar S4 mutations among suppressors of an sd mutation in C. reinhardtii S12 obtained using UV mutagenesis, we made site-directed mutations [Arg68 (CGT) to Len (CTG and CTT)] in the wild-type rps4 gene equivalent to an E. coli Gln53 to Len ribosomal ambiguity mutation (ram), which suppresses the sd phenotype and decreases translational accuracy. These mutants were tested for their ability to transform the sd S 12 mutation of C. reinhardtii to streptomycin independence. The streptomycin-independent isolates obtained by biolistic transformation all possessed the original sd mutation in rps12, but none had the expected donor Leu68 mutations in rps4. Instead, six of 15 contained a Gln73 (CAA) to Pro (CCA) mutation five amino acids downstream from the predicted mutant codon, irrespective of rps4 donor DNA. Two others contained six- and ten-amino acid, in-frame insertions at S4 positions 90 and 92 that appear to have been induced by the biolistic process itself. Eight streptomycin-independent isolates analyzed had wild-type rps4 genes and may possess mutations identical to previously isolated suppressors of sd that define at least two additional chloroplast loci. Cloned rps4 genes from streptomycin-independent isolates containing the Gln73 to Pro mutation and the 6-amino acid insertion in r-protein S4 transform the sd strain to streptomycin independence.

    Notizen: Abstract In plant and algal cells, inhibition of the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase (Protox) by the N-phenyl heterocyclic herbicide S-23142 causes massive protoporphyrin IX accumulation, resulting in membrane deterioration and cell lethality in the light. We have identified a 40.4 kb genomic fragment encoding S-23142 resistance by using transformation to screen an indexed cosmid library made from nuclear DNA of the dominant rs-3 mutant of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. A 10.0 kb HindIII subclone (Hind10) of this insert yields a high frequency of herbicide-resistant transformants, consistent with frequent non-homologous integration of the complete RS-3 gene. A 3.4 kb XhoI subfragment (Xho3.4) yields rare herbicide-resistant transformants, suggestive of homologous integration of a portion of the coding sequence containing the mutation. Molecular and genetic analysis of the transformants localized the rs-3 mutation conferring S-23142 resistance to the Xho3.4 fragment, which was found to contain five putative exons encoding a protein with identity to the C-terminus of the Arabidopsis Protox enzyme. A cDNA clone containing a 1698 bp ORF that encodes a 563 amino acid peptide with 51% and 53% identity to Arabidopsis and tobacco Protox I, respectively, was isolated from a wild-type C. reinhardtii library. Comparison of the wild-type cDNA sequence with the putative exon sequences present in the mutant Xho3.4 fragment revealed a G→A change at 291 in the first putative exon, resulting in a Val→Met substitution at a conserved position equivalent to Val-389 of the wild-type C. reinhardtii cDNA. A sequence comparison of genomic Hind10 fragments from C. reinhardtii rs-3 and its wild-type progenitor CC-407 showed this G→A change at the equivalent position (5751) within exon 10.
