The role of histidine transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) in repression of synthesis of histidyl-tRNA synthetase was examined in two strains of Salmonella typhimurium, one of which was a histidine tRNA (hisR) mutant possessing 52% of the wild-type (hisR(+)) histidine tRNA and a derepressed level of the histidine biosynthetic enzymes during histidine-unrestricted growth. Histidine-restricted growth caused a derepression of the rate of formation of histidyl-tRNA synthetase in both strains. In the case of the wild-type strain, addition of histidine to the derepressed culture caused a repression of synthesis of histidyl-tRNA synthetase for at least one generation of growth. In contrast, when histidine was restored to the derepressed hisR mutant culture, synthesis of histidyl-tRNA synthetase was continued at the initial derepressed rate. These results suggest that histidine must be attached to histidine tRNA for repression of synthesis of histidyl-tRNA synthetase.
在两株鼠伤寒沙门氏菌中研究了组氨酸转移核糖核酸(tRNA)在抑制组氨酰-tRNA合成酶合成中的作用。其中一株是组氨酸tRNA(hisR)突变体,其具有野生型(hisR(+))组氨酸tRNA的52%,并且在组氨酸不受限制生长期间组氨酸生物合成酶处于去阻遏水平。组氨酸限制生长导致两株菌株中组氨酰-tRNA合成酶形成速率的去阻遏。对于野生型菌株,向去阻遏培养物中添加组氨酸会导致组氨酰-tRNA合成酶合成的抑制至少持续一代生长。相反,当向去阻遏的hisR突变体培养物中恢复组氨酸时,组氨酰-tRNA合成酶的合成以初始去阻遏速率继续。这些结果表明,组氨酸必须连接到组氨酸tRNA上才能抑制组氨酰-tRNA合成酶的合成。
