Regulation of a ribonucleoside reductase during the early generative phase in Acetabularia.
The activity of a ribonucleoside reductase was estimated during the life cycle of Acetabularia. During the early generative phase the enzyme activity was dramatically increased. Regulation of the ribonucleoside reductase was observed even in the absence of the nucleus. The increase in activity was inhibited by chloramphenicol but not by cycloheximide. These results indicate that the enzyme is translated on 70 S ribosomes.
