The regulation of the genes encoding the large and small subunits of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase was examined in amaranth cotyledons in response to changes in illumination. When dark-grown cotyledons were transferred into light, synthesis of the large- and small-subunit polypeptides was initiated very rapidly, before any increase in the levels of their corresponding mRNAs. Similarly, when light-grown cotyledons were transferred to total darkness, synthesis of the large- and small-subunit proteins was rapidly depressed without changes in mRNA levels for either subunit. In vitro translation or in vivo pulse-chase experiments indicated that these apparent changes in protein synthesis were not due to alterations in the functionality of the mRNAs or to protein turnover, respectively. These results, in combination with our previous studies, suggest that the expression of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase genes can be adjusted rapidly at the translational level and over a longer period through changes in mRNA accumulation.
