The chloroplast and cytoplasmic ribosomes of euglena: I. Stability of chloroplast ribosomes prepared by an improved procedure.

Abstract:

:A new isolation procedure has resulted in an improved yield of stable 68S chloroplast ribosomes from Euglena gracilis var. bacillaris. Chloroplasts are isolated by suspending the cells in buffer I (sorbitol, 250 mm; sucrose, 250 mm; Ficoll, 2.5% [w/v]; magnesium acetate, 1 mm; bovine serum albumin, 0.01% [w/v]; mercaptoethanol, 14 mm; N-2-hydroxyethyl-piperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid, pH 7.6, 5 mm) and passing through a French press at less than 1500 pounds per square inch. The crude chloroplasts are purified by three washings with buffer II (sorbitol, 150 mm; sucrose, 150 mm; Ficoll, 2.5% [w/v]; magnesium acetate, 1 mm; bovine serum albumin, 0.01% [w/v]; mercaptoethanol, 14 mm; N-2-hydroxyethyl-piperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid, pH 7.6, 5 mm). Stable 68S chloroplast ribosomes are obtained when the isolated chloroplasts are resuspended in ribosome buffer (tris-HCI, pH 7.6, 10 mm; magnesium acetate, 12 mm; KCI, 60 mm) containing spermidine, 0.5 mm; mercaptoethanol, 14 mm; sucrose, 8% (w/w), passed through a French press at 4000 pounds per square inch and extracted with either 0.1% (w/v) sodium deoxycholate or 1.0% (v/v) Triton X-100. At 0 to 4 C in ribosome buffer, the purified 68S chloroplast monosome forms a 53S particle while the 35S particle, an expected product of monosome dissociation, cannot be detected. Spermidine and mercaptoethanol prevent the formation of 53S particles from 68S monosomes. The purified 53S particles derived from 68S monosomes contain 23S RNA as well as a significant amount of 16S RNA, suggesting that this particle may not be a true ribosomal subunit.
