The aminoacylation of transfer ribonucleic acid. Recognition of methionine by Escherichia coli methionyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase. 下载免费PDF全文
The mechanism of the recognition of methionine by Escherichia coli methionyl-tRNA synthetase was examined by a kinetic study of the recognition of methionine analogues in the ATP-PPi exchange reaction and the tRNA-aminoacylation reaction. The results show that the recognition mechanism consists of three parts: (1) the recognition of the size, shape and chemical nature of the amino acid side chain at the methionine-binding stage of the reaction; (2) the recognition of the length of the side chain at the stage of aminoacyl-adenylate complex-formation; (3) the recognition of the sulphur atom in the side chain at the stage of methionyl-tRNA formation. It is proposed that the sulphur atom interacts with the enzyme to induce a conformational change. A model of the active site incorporating the mechanism of methionine recognition is presented. 相似文献

Recognition properties of the beta subunit of Escherichia coli ribonucleic acid polymerase. 下载免费PDF全文
Changes in the phage protein patterns obtained by gel electrophoresis of extracts from phage S13 and phiX174 infection of rifampin-resistant hosts suggest that the beta subunit of ribonucleic acid polymerase of Escherichia coli has a function in the recognition of promoter or terminator sites or both. The altered protein patterns also provide information on the location of some ribonucleic acid polymerase recognition signals in S13 deoxyribonucleic acid. There is a promoter site before gene A, which lies either in gene H or between H and A. There is evidence for a promotor between genes C and D or in gene C. There is either a terminator or a promoter somewhere between the end of gene D and the beginning of gene F. 相似文献

Genes for the alpha and beta subunits of the phenylalanyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase of Escherichia coli. 总被引:10,自引:6,他引:4 下载免费PDF全文
The phenylalanyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase of Escherichia coli is a tetramer that contains two different kinds of polypeptide chains. To locate the genes for the two polypeptides, we analyzed temperature-sensitive mutants with defective phenylalanyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetases to see which subunit was altered. The method was in vitro complementation; mutant cell extracts were mixed with purified separated alpha or beta subunits of the wild-type enzyme to generate an active hybrid enzyme. With three mutants, enzyme activity appeared when alpha was added, but not when beta was added: these are, therefore, assumed to carry lesions in the gene for the alpha subunit. Two other mutants gave the opposite response and are presumably beta mutants. Enzyme activity is also generated when alpha and beta mutant extracts are mixed, but not when two alpha or two beta mutant extracts are mixed. The inactive mutant enzymes appear to be dissociated, as judged by their sedimentation in sucrose density gradients, but the dissociation may be only partial. The active enzyme generated by complementation occurred in two forms, one that resembled the native wild-type enzyme and one that sedimented more slowly. Both alpha and beta mutants are capable of generating the native form, although alpha mutants require prior urea denaturation of the defective enzyme. With the mutants thus characterized, the genes for the alpha and beta subunits (designated pheS and heT, respectively) were mapped. The gene order, as determined by transduction is aroD-pps-pheT-pheS. The pheS and pheT genes are close together and may be immediately adjacent. 相似文献

Rapid micromethod for the purification of Escherichia coli ribonucleic acid polymerase and the preparation of bacterial extracts active in ribonucleic acid synthesis. 总被引:20,自引:14,他引:6 下载免费PDF全文
A rapid micromethod is described for the preparation of nucleic acid-free extracts from Escherichia coli that involves precipitation with polyethylene glycol. Extracts can be prepared from growing cells in 75 min by three short, low-speed centrifugations. The extract did not inhibit added purified ribonucleic acid (RNA) polymerase, suggesting that major inhibitors of RNA synthesis had been removed. This extract should be ideal for assessing the properties of mutant RNA polymerases. The rapid chromatography of the extracts with step elution from deoxyribonucleic acid- and diethylaminoethyl-cellulose columns resulted in high yields of substantially pure RNA polymerase. We used this technique to purify 35S-labeled RNA polymerase. This system should find application for the purification of small quantities of other bacterial RNA polymerases that share the general chromatographic properties of E. coli RNA polymerase. 相似文献
