TY - JOUR A1 - Sebald, Walter A1 - Weiss, H. A1 - Jackl, G. T1 - Inhibition of the assembly of cytochrome oxidase in Neurospora crassa by chloramphenicol N2 - Cytochrome oxidasewas prepared from Neurospora crassa by chromatography on oleyl polymethacrylic acid resin and separated into seven polypeptides by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecylsulfate. Incorporation oflabelled amino acids into the single polypeptideswas investigated after a pulse labelling in the absence and presence of chloramphenicol, and afterwashing out the inhibitor. Chloramphenicol (4 mg/ml) inhibited amino acid incorporation into all polypeptides 90-95%• while labeHing of the whole membrane protein was inhibited only 30%• Mter washing out the inhibitor and further growth of the cells. the four smaller polypeptides were highly labelled, whereas the other polypeptides showed only a. small increase in radioactivity. It is concluded that the four small-sized polypeptides of cytochrome oxidase are synthesized but not integrated into the functional enzyme under the action of chloramphenicol.
