Abstract

Spontaneous revertants of a temperature-sensitive Escherichia coli strain bearing a thermolabile glutaminyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase have been selected for growth at 45 degrees C. Among 10 revertants still containing the thermolabile enzyme, 2 interesting strains were found. One strain has a fivefold elevated level of the thermolabile glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase; the genetic locus, glnR, responsible for this effect maps at min 24, far from glnS, the structural gene of the enzyme. In the other strain the levels of tRNA Gln and several other tRNAs are twice as high as in the parental strain; the locus responsible, glnU, maps at min 59.5 on the E. coli map.
