Chromosomal beta-lactamase, a periplasmic enzyme of Escherichia coli, was studied with respect to its regulation in vivo. Both the activity and the amount of beta-lactamase increased with growth rate. During a nutritional shift-down, chromosomal beta-lactamase activity followed stable ribonucleic acid accumulation. After a nutritional shift-up the differential rate of beta-lactamase synthesis did not increase immediately (like stable ribonucleic acid), but did increase after a lag period of 30 min. To determine whether beta-lactamase was under stringent control, strains carrying a temperature-sensitive valyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase and differing only in the allelic state of the relA gene were shifted from a permissive to a semipermissive temperature. No influence by the relA gene product was found on beta-lactamase synthesis. The regulation of this periplasmic enzyme is discussed in relation to that of some components of the translational apparatus.
对大肠杆菌的一种周质酶——染色体β-内酰胺酶的体内调控进行了研究。β-内酰胺酶的活性和含量均随生长速率增加。在营养条件向下转变期间,染色体β-内酰胺酶活性与稳定核糖核酸积累情况一致。营养条件向上转变后,β-内酰胺酶合成的差异速率并未立即增加(与稳定核糖核酸情况不同),而是在30分钟的延迟期后才增加。为了确定β-内酰胺酶是否受到严谨控制,将携带温度敏感型缬氨酰转移核糖核酸合成酶且仅relA基因等位状态不同的菌株从允许温度转移至半允许温度。未发现relA基因产物对β-内酰胺酶合成有影响。结合翻译装置的某些组分对这种周质酶的调控进行了讨论。
