Abstract
Chloroplasts contain elongation factors for protein synthesis different from the corresponding factors involved in cytoplasmic and mitochondrial protein synthesis1. Previously, we have demonstrated that chloroplast elongation factor G is synthesized in the organelle in Chlorella vulgaris 2 and that this factor, as well as elongation factor Tu (EF-Tuchl), are synthesized in spinach chloroplasts3. In addition, preliminary results were presented suggesting that the two elongation factors are coded in spinach chloroplast DNA4. We present now a more rigorous evidence that EF-Tuchl is coded in the organellar DNA.
