A previously isolated thermosensitive mutant [Springer, M., Graffe, M. & Grunberg-Manago, M. (6977) Mol. Gen. Genet. 151, 17-26] exhibits two defects in vitro, one in the initiation factor IF3 and the other in the L-phenylalanine: tRNA-Phe ligase (EC 6.1.1.20). Specialized lambda transducing phages that transduced this mutant to thermoresistance were selected. In vitro studies showed that the transductants had a normal IF3 activity. One of these transducing phages was shown to code for a protein synthesized under the control of Escherichia coli promoters, which has the same molecular weight as IF3. This protein crossreacts specifically with IF3 antisera and comigrates with pure IF3 in a two-dimensional gel system.
先前分离出的一个温度敏感突变体[施普林格,M.,格拉夫,M.和格伦贝格 - 马纳戈,M.(1967)《分子与普通遗传学》151卷,第17 - 26页]在体外表现出两种缺陷,一种是起始因子IF3方面的缺陷,另一种是L - 苯丙氨酸:苯丙氨酰 - tRNA连接酶(EC 6.1.1.20)方面的缺陷。筛选出了能将该突变体转导为耐热型的特异性λ转导噬菌体。体外研究表明,转导子具有正常的IF3活性。其中一种转导噬菌体被证明可编码一种在大肠杆菌启动子控制下合成的蛋白质,其分子量与IF3相同。这种蛋白质能与IF3抗血清发生特异性交叉反应,并且在双向凝胶系统中与纯IF3一同迁移。
