Summary Episomes of E. coli, which cover argG but not the str region, were transferred to Serratia marcescens. Ribosomal proteins from these hybrid strains were analyzed with phospho-cellulose or carboxymethyl-cellulose column chromatography. Two E. coli ribosomal proteins, L21 and S15, could be detected in the ribosome from the hybrid strains in addition to the ribosomal proteins of S. marcescens. 相似文献

Summary The ribosomal proteins of temperature-sensitive mutants of Escherichia coli isolated independently after mutagenesis with nitrosoguanidine were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. Out of 400 mutants analyzed, 60 mutants (15%) showed alterations in a total of 22 different ribosomal proteins. The proteins altered in these mutants are S2, S4, S6, S7, S8, S10, S15, S16, S18, L1, L3, L6, L10, L11, L14, L15, L17, L18, L19, L22, L23 and L24. A large number of them (25 mutants) have mutations in protein S4 of the small subunit, while four mutants showed alterations in protein L6 of the large subunit. The importance of these mutants for structural and functional analyses of ribosomes is discussed. 相似文献

Summary Using a variety of immunological techniques, the supernatant levels of ribosomal proteins were measured in mutants lacking the ribosomal proteins L1 or L11, and in wild-type strains. There was a 2.5–5-fold elevation of protein L11 level in the supernatant of strains lacking protein L1, compared to wild-type. In contrast, there was no elevation, but rather a diminution, in the corresponding L1 level in strains lacking protein L11, compared to wild-type. These results are consistent with a model for the control of expression of the L11-L1 operon in which protein L1 is an inhibitor of expression of that operon, but protein L11 is not. The supernatant concentrations of other proteins were indistinguishable in all strains. 相似文献

Summary A ribosome preparation from E. coli made without stringent washing procedures has been shown to contain the same relative amounts of nearly all the ribosomal proteins as ribosomes in intact cells. Stoichiometric measurements on all the proteins of this preparation except for L8, L20, L31 and L34 have been made using an isotope dilution technique. When the scatter of the values obtained, the uncertainty in the molecular weights, and the losses occurring during extraction are taken into account, none of the proteins except L7/L12 is present at a level significantly different from one molecule per ribosome. There are multiple copies of L7/L12. These data suggest that the ribosomes of Escherichia coli are homogeneous in vivo. 相似文献

Summary Antibodies raised against D. melanogaster ribosomal proteins were used to examine possible structural relationships between eukaryotic and prokaryotic ribosomal proteins. The antisera were raised against either groups of ribosomal proteins or purified individual ribosomal proteins from D. melanogaster. The specificity of each antiserum was confirmed and the identity of the homologous E. coli ribosomal protein was determined by immunochemical methods. Immuno-overlay assays indicated that the antiserum against the D. melanogaster small subunit protein S14 (anti-S14) was highly specific for protein S14. In addition, anti-S14 showed a cross-reaction with total E. coli ribosomal proteins in Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion assays and with only E. coli protein S6 in immuno-overlay assays. From these and other experiments with adsorption of anti-S14 with individual purified proteins, the E. coli protein homologous to the D. melanogaster protein S14 was established as protein S6. 相似文献

Summary In Escherichia coli, a number of ribosomal proteins are methylated. The time of methylation of L7 and L11 during ribosome assembly was studied. It was observed that the methylation of L7 could occur in the free protein stage. Both the 32S and 40S ribonucleoprotein intermediates also contained methylated L7 although the extent of methylation in these particles was not as high as in the free L7, the 45S or the 50S particles. Free L11 could also be partially methylated but the bulk of methylation of this protein was found in the 45S and the 50S particles.It was previously reported that the methylation of L7 is inversely proportional to the growth temperature (Chang 1978), we now show that once L7 is methylated at 25°, the methyl group is stable when the culture is shifted to 37°C. However, a partial turnover of the methyl group of L7 is observed when the methylated ribosome is chased at 25°C. On the other hand, the methyl groups of L11 appear to be stable at either 25°C or 37°C. We also observe that the extent of methylation of both L7 and L11 stays nearly constant during the cell growth cycle from early log to stationary phase. 相似文献

Summary Two spontaneous mutants of Escherichia coli strain KMBL-146 selected for resistance to the aminoglycoside antibiotic neamine show severe restriction of amber suppressors in vivo. Purified ribosomes from the mutant strains exhibit low neamine-induced misreading in vitro and a decreased affinity for the related antibiotic streptomycin.Biochemical analysis shows that the mutants each have two modified 30S ribosomal proteins, S12 and S5. In agreement with these results, genetic analysis shows that two mutations are present, neither of which confers resistance to neamine by itself; the mutation located in gene rpxL (the structural gene for protein S12) confers streptomycin dependence but this dependence is suppressed in the presence of the second mutation, located in gene rpxE (the structural gene for protein S5). 相似文献

Summary The effect on translational fidelity of a particular mutation in the gene coding for protein S5 (rpxE) has been investigated. This mutation has the opposite effect of a restrictive strA mutation; in vivo, it relieves the restriction imposed by strA on the suppression of T4 nonsense mutants and results in hypersensitivity to streptomycin; in vitro, the presence of the altered S5 protein in 30S ribosomes results in increased intrinsic misreading. It is concluded that this mutation, ramC319, acts as a ribosomal ambiguity mutation similar to certain mutations of protein S4 (ramA). 相似文献

Summary Mutants resistant to (Str-R) or dependent on streptomycin (Str-D) were isolated from several streptomycin independent (Str-I) strains of Escherichia coli. From 90 of these mutants ribosomes were isolated and the ribosomal proteins analyzed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The results which are summarized in Tables 1-4 led to the following conclusions:a) The phenotype (Str-R or Str-D) of the mutants isolated from the Str-I strains strongly depends on the parental strain. b) No other ribosomal proteins than S4, S5 and S12 seem to be altered by mutations leading to dependence on, independence from or resistance to streptomycin. c) The S4 proteins of the analyzed mutants belong to three groups. The ratio between the groups depends more on the origin of the mutants than on their phenotype. d) Eight new types of altered S4 proteins were detected. It is very likely that many, if not all, of the altered S4 proteins originated by frame shift mutations. e) Some of the mutants differ from the wild type by alterations in three ribosomal proteins (S4, S5 and S12). The alteration in one protein, S4, apparently compensates for that in another protein, S5, in such a way that the original phenotype is expressed. These mutants are therefore an excellent tool for studies at the molecular level on the interaction of ribosomal components within the particle. 相似文献

Summary A series of mutants of E. coli temperature-sensitive for DNA synthesis has been studied. The temperature-sensitive DNA mutations map in seven distinct genetic loci most of which have not been previously reported. Mutations in dnaA and in dnaC affect the initiation of DNA replication; those at the remaining loci affect chain elongation. A temperature-sensitive Flac is shown to suppress a group A mutant with somewhat less efficiency than other F factors previously reported by others. The gene products rendered temperaturesensitive by the mutations have not been identified for any of the loci. 相似文献

Membrane vesicles from Escherichia coli wild type and an otherwise isogenic dnaA mutant were used to immunize rabbits. In addition, a membrane protein fraction, containing the material found deficient in dnaA mutants, was purified by preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecylsulfate, and used for immunization. The antisera produced were analyzed by immunoelectrophoresis and immunofluorescence microscopy. The antisera obtained by immunization with membrane vesicles from either wild type or dnaA mutant membrane preparations were qualitatively similar in the precipitin bands seen after immunoelectrophoresis. The antisera obtained by immunization with the purified protein fraction contained a subset of the antibodies seen when whole vesicles were used for immunization. In a semiquantitative precipitin assay, the antisera prepared against whole membrane vesicles or the isolated protein fraction both caused the precipitation of more protein from sodium dodecylsulfate-solubilized membranes of wild type than of dnaA mutants. No difference was seen by immunoelectrophoresis between the protein composition of wild type or dnaA membrane preparations. Thus, the dnaA mutant appears to differ from the wild type in the quantitative composition of its membrane proteins, whereas no qualitative differences were detected.Fluorescein-conjugated antiserum preparations were employed to assess the reactivity of intact cells, spheroplasts and membrane vesicles with the antisera studied above. Wild type cells of E. coli have a barrier to reaction with the antisera; this barrier is removed when the cells are converted to spheroplasts or to membrane vesicle. Similarly, a highly permeable mutant of E. coli permits reaction of the antisera with unaltered cells. Antisera to both whole membrane vesicles and to the isolated protein fraction react identically with the cellular and subcellular preparations. Thus, antisera prepared from membrane proteins isolated after sodium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis can still recognize some antigens present in membrane vesicle preparations. 相似文献

Summary The ribosomal RNA synthesis in a cell-free system containing the nucleoids and the cytoplasmic fraction prepared from Escherichia coli cells has been investigated. The addition of the 4S fraction from the cytoplasm to the isolated nucleoids induces RNA synthesis by a new chain initiation. In this system a preferential initiation of rRNA chains occurs. The experimental results suggest that the 4S fraction contains at least two activities, one for releasing RNA-polymerases from the nucleoids, and another for the frequent initiation of rRNA chains. No restriction of the rRNA synthesis has been observed in the nucleoids and the 4S fraction from the amino acidstarved rel
+ cells. The rRNA synthesized in the above system is detected at about 23S and 16S rRNA regions. 相似文献

Summary Seven mutants of E. coli with temperature-sensitive synthesis of DNA have been isolated. Synthesis of RNA, protein and DNA precursors does not appear to be directly affected. The mutants can be divided into at least two groups on the basis of their pattern of DNA synthesis, their ability to support phage growth at 41° and their genetic mapping.Mutants of the first group are heterogeneous in their pattern of DNA synthesis at 40°. Some mutants cease DNA synthesis abruptly upon transfer to 40° and any residual DNA synthesis is barely detectable. In others there is substantial residual synthesis at 40°. All these Group 1 mutants are alike, however, in that they support the growth of phage T4 but not Lambda at 41°. Two mutants with barely detectable residual DNA synthesis carry DNA mutations which have been mapped by P1 transduction and show about 72% linkage to the malB locus. It has not yet proved possible to map accurately the mutants showing substantial residual synthesis, and the possibility that these mutations are in a different gene(s) has not been excluded.A single mutant has been placed in a second group. Like some Group 1 mutants it synthesizes substantial amounts of DNA at 40° before synthesis stops. However, unlike them it supports the growth of T4 and Lambda at 41°. The DNA mutation maps near the leu locus. Certain properties of this mutant are consistent with the idea that initiation of DNA synthesis is temperature-sensitive in this strain.Adapted from a dissertation presented in partial fulfillment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.

Summary The final step in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine, the major membrane lipid of Escherichia coli, is catalyzed by the membrane-bound enzyme, phosphatidylserine decarboxylase. A variation of a procedure for localized mutagenesis (Hong and Ames, 1971) was employed to generate conditional lethal mutants in phosphatidylserine decarboxylase. In our modification, an episome carrying the psd gene closely linked to purA
+ was heavily mutagenized in vivo in a strain also lysogenic for phage P1 CMclr100. After induction of a phage lytic cycle, the purA
+ marker was transduced to a purA
- recipient. A majority of the Pur+ transductants thus contained a psd gene originating from the heavily mutagenized episomal strain. Three mutants were isolated in which temperature-sensitive growth is caused by thermosensitive phosphatidylserine decarboxylase activity that is defective in vivo at the non-permissive temperature. All 3 mutations were mapped at the same location as psd1, being cotransduced with melA, purA, and ampA. The gene order in this region, as determined by a phage P1-mediated, three-factor cross is ampA-psd-purA. psd
+ is dominant to the psd mutant alleles. 相似文献

Summary Stoichiometric investigations were made for all 21 proteins of the 30S subunit and for 31 proteins of the 50S subunit. While the results for the 30S proteins strongly suggest the existence of two different stoichiometric classes, the so-called fractional (F) and unit (U) proteins with average molar amounts of 0.1–0.5 and 0.8–1.2 per mole 30S respectively, at least one further group is present in isolated 50S particles. Therefore 50S proteins may be subdivided in the following way: a) 9–10 proteins with average molar amounts of 0.2–0.6 (F-proteins), b) 15–16 proteins with 0.8–1.2 copies per 50S particle (U-proteins), c) at least one protein with an average value of 1.8–2.2 copies, the repeated (R) proteins, d) a group of 7 proteins with 1.4–1.7 copies per particle; they can be named fractional repeated (FR) proteins. These findings indicate that 50S ribosomal particles show a more differentiated degree of structural heterogeneity at least in vitro than has been shown for 30S subunits.Paper No. 35 on Ribosomal Proteins.

Summary P1 transduction studies of a mutation of Escherichia coli affecting the rpsB gene previously suggested the map order popC-rpsB-dapD. Biochemical analysis of transductants has now revealed that the rpsB gene lies in fact to the right hand (tsf) side of the dapD marker. 相似文献
