Regulation of Histidyl-Transfer Ribonucleic Acid Synthetase Formation in a Histidyl-Transfer Ribonucleic Acid Synthetase Mutant of Salmonella typhimurium

RESUMO

Control of formation of the histidyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase with an increased Km for histidine was studied in a hisS mutant of Salmonella typhimurium. Histidine restriction of both the hisS and hisS+ strains resulted in a derepression of synthesis of histidyl-tRNA synthetase. When grown in a concentration less than the Km (100 μg/ml) of l-histidine, the hisS mutant maintained a higher level of histidyl-tRNA synthetase than the hisS+ strain. Addition of excess amounts of l-histidine to the growth medium of the hisS mutant culture grown with 100 μg of l-histidine per ml resulted in a repression of histidyl-tRNA synthetase formation to equal that of the hisS+ strain grown in 100 μg of l-histidine per ml. These data confirm previous findings that histidine tRNA is involved in the repression of synthesis of histidyl-tRNA synthetase.
