Abstract:Summary When studying mutants affecting lysyl-tRNA synthetase or tRNALys (hisT, hisW), a lack of correlation is clearly observed between the amount of lysyl-tRNA and the level of derepression of several lysine biosynthetic enzymes. This excludes the possible role of lysyl-tRNA as the specific corepressor of the lysine regulon. However, the level of derepression of DAP-decarboxylase, the last enzyme of the lysine pathway, is very low in the hisT mutant; this indicates that tRNALys is a secondary effector involved in the regulation of the synthesis of this enzyme.Abbreviations DAP diaminopimelate - KRS lysyl-tRNA synthetase - L-lysine tRNA ligase (AMP) (EC6.1.16) - AK III lysinesensitive aspartokinase (EC 2.7.24) - ASA-dehydrogenase aspartic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.10) - DHDP-reductase dihydrodipicolinic acid reductase - DAP-decarboxylase diaminopimelate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.20) - AK I threonine-sensitive aspartokinase - HDHI threonine-sensitive homoserine dehydrogenase
