Regulation of tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase formation.

Abstract:

:A previously constructed trp-S-lacZ fusion encoding a hybrid protein with beta-galactosidase activity was subcloned from a multicopy plasmid onto a lambda vector. Single-copy lysogens of lambda trpS-lacZ were used to determine whether trpS was regulated in a manner similar to that of other aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases. trpS regulation was found to resemble that of the majority of synthetases, in that expression of the lysogen-encoded hybrid beta-galactosidase varied with growth rate; beta-galactosidase activity increased 2.5-fold as the generation time decreased from 150 to 37 min. This regulatory response was confirmed by DNA/RNA hybridization experiments, which also suggested that this form of metabolic regulation occurred at the transcriptional level. No alteration in the level of hybrid beta-galactosidase was observed, however, when cells were starved for tryptophan.
