RESUMO

Cell-free translation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii RNA in the presence of photosynthetic membranes resulted in association of the herbicide binding (Qb) protein with membranes. Incubation of recovered membranes with high salt did not extract the polypeptide from membranes. Tryptic digestion of in vivo labeled membranes or membranes recovered from in vitro translation mixtures showed that Qb had similar orientation. In vitro translation in the presence of chloroplast membranes from cells exposed to high light intensity restored the membrane associated kinase activity lost by photoinhibition. Thus, in vitro synthesis resulted in functional integration of the Qb protein within the photosynthetic membrane.
