Abstract

Light-grown, wild type Euglena gracilis contains two aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases for both phenylalanine and isoleucine. Only one of the two synthetases for each amino acid is found in isolated chloroplasts, as are the light-induced phenylalanine and isoleucine tRNAs. In each case the light-induced chloroplast tRNAs can only be acylated by the chloroplast synthetases. The chloroplast isoleucyl-tRNA synthetase is light-inducible and cannot be detected in dark-grown cells or in cells of the bleached mutant W 3 BUL. The presence of the chloroplast phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase in W 3 BUL, which contains no chloroplast DNA or structure, indicates that this chloroplast enzyme is synthesized in the cytoplasm and is coded by nuclear genes.
