Stress-induced protein synthesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
Following exposure to UV light the synthesis of six polypeptides (112, 100, 89, 76, 71 and 65 kDa) was found to be enhanced or induced in the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Treatment with 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (NQO) resulted in the enhanced/induced synthesis of six polypeptides with molecular masses similar to those enhanced following exposure to UV light. Heat shock resulted in the enhanced synthesis of five polypeptides (89, 76, 71, 60 and 22 kDa), three of which (89, 76 and 71 kDa) had apparently identical mobilities to polypeptides whose synthesis was enhanced following UV treatment.
