The activity of pea chloroplast elongation factor G (EF-G), a nuclear-coded protein required for the elongation cycle of chloroplast protein synthesis, is regulated in response to light. In pea seedlings germinated and grown under continuous white or red light, EF-G specific activity reaches a maximum between days 10 to 15, and then decreases. EF-G activity is almost undetectable in extracts from dark-grown seedlings. When 13-day dark-grown pea seedlings are transferred to light, EF-G specific activity reaches a higher value after 2 to 3 days than observed in seedlings grown under continuous light. The small and large subunits of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase continue to accumulate after EF-G specific activity has reached maximum levels. Cytoplasmically synthesized components of the chloroplast protein synthetic apparatus, such as EF-G, may help coordinate cytoplasmic and nuclear events with chloroplast gene expression during light-induced chloroplast differentiation.
