Stimulation of cell division by croton oil in blue-green bacteria.

abstract：:Escherichia coli threonyl-tRNA synthetase is a homodimeric protein that acts as both an enzyme and a regulator of gene expression: the protein aminoacylates tRNA(Thr) isoacceptors and binds to its own mRNA, inhibiting its translation. The enzyme contains a zinc atom in its active site, which is essential for the recog...
