Spontaneous revertants of a temperature-sensitive Escherichia coli strain harboring a thermolabile valyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase were selected for growth at 40 degrees C. Of these, a large number still contain the thermolabile valyl-tRNA synthetase. Three of these revertants contained an increased level of the thermolabile enzyme. The genetic locus, valX, responsible for the enzyme overproduction, is adjacent to the structural gene, valS, of valyl-tRNA synthetase. Determination (by radioimmunoassay) of the turnover rates of valyl-tRNA synthetase showed that the increased level of valyl-tRNA synthetase is due to new enzyme synthesis rather than decreased rates of protein degradation.
选择了一株携带热不稳定缬氨酰转移核糖核酸(tRNA)合成酶的温度敏感型大肠杆菌菌株的自发回复突变体,使其在40℃下生长。其中,大量回复突变体仍含有热不稳定缬氨酰-tRNA合成酶。这些回复突变体中有三个含有水平升高的热不稳定酶。负责该酶过量产生的基因位点valX与缬氨酰-tRNA合成酶的结构基因valS相邻。通过放射免疫测定法测定缬氨酰-tRNA合成酶的周转率表明,缬氨酰-tRNA合成酶水平的升高是由于新酶的合成,而不是蛋白质降解速率的降低。
