摘要
In higher plant chloroplasts the accumulation of plastid-encoded mRNAs during leaf maturation is regulated via gene-specific mRNA stabilization. The half-lives of chloroplast RNAs are specifically affected by magnesium ions. psbA mRNA (D1 protein of photosystem II), rbcL mRNA (large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase), 16 S rRNA, and tRNA(His) gain stability at specific magnesium concentrations in an in vitro degradation system from spinach chloroplasts. Each RNA exhibits a typical magnesium concentration-dependent stabilization profile. It shows a cooperative response of the stability-regulated psbA mRNA and a saturation curve for the other RNAs. The concentration of free Mg2+ rises during chloroplast development within a range sufficient to mediate gene-specific mRNA stabilization in vivo as observed in vitro. We suggest that magnesium ions are a trans-acting factor mediating differential mRNA stability.
