The time course of and the influence
of light intensity and light quality on the induction of a
mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase (CA) in the unicellular green alga
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was characterized using
western and northern blots. This CA was expressed only under
low-CO2 conditions (ambient air). In asynchronously grown
cells, the mRNA was detected 15 min after transfer from air containing
5% CO2 to ambient air, and the 21-kD polypeptide was
detected on western blots after 1 h. When transferred back to air
containing 5% CO2, the mRNA disappeared within 1 h
and the polypeptide was degraded within 3 d. Photosynthesis was
required for the induction in asynchronous cultures. The induction
increased with light up to 500 µmol m 2
s 1, where saturation occurred. In cells grown
synchronously, however, expression of the mitochondrial CA was also
detected in darkness. Under such conditions the expression followed a
circadian rhythm, with mRNA appearing in the dark 30 min before the
light was turned on. Algae left in darkness continued this rhythm for
several days.
