Intact chloroplasts isolated from Euglena gracilis exhibit high rates of light-driven protein synthesis, whereas protein synthesis by isolated proplastids is absolutely dependent upon the addition of an exogenous energy source in the form of equimolar ATP and Mg(2+). ATP and Mg(2+) also stimulate translation by chloroplasts. The greatly increased rates of protein synthesis obtained by supplementing proplastids with ATP and Mg(2+) have allowed the first clear characterization of proplastid translation products. Two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analysis of proteins synthesized in organello shows that, while many translation products are common to both plastid types, most are unique to either the proplastid or the chloroplast. Pulse-chase experiments using both proplastids and chloroplasts indicate similar rates of turnover of newly synthesized proteins in both types of plastids. Thus, the differences seen between proplastid and chloroplast translation products are apparently not due to turnover. Immunoprecipitation of large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase (LS) from pulse-chase experiments indicates that LS is made in both proplastids and in chloroplasts and that the rate of LS turnover is similar in both types of plastids.
