✦ Synopsis

The conditionally lethal mutation, 2861 mis, has been mapped inside the ribosomal protein gene cluster at 72 minutes on the Escherichia coli chromosome and was found to cotransduce at 97% with rpsE (S5). The 2861 mis mutation leads to thermosensitivity and impaired assembly in vivo of 30S ribosomal particles at 42 degrees C. The strain carrying the mutation has an altered S 17 ribosomal protein; the mutational alteration involves a replacement of serine by phenylalanine in protein S 17. Spontaneous reversion to temperature independence can restore the normal assembly in vivo of 30 S ribosomal subunits at 42 degrees C and the normal chromatographical behaviour of the S 17 ribosomal protein in vitro. We conclude therefore that the 2861 mis mutation affects the structural gene for protein S 17 (rpsQ).

The nucleotide sequence of the gene rpsD for the ribosomal protein S4 of three thermosensitive mutants of Escherichia coli K12 was determined. It was found that two of them contained regional multiplications of a nucleotide sequence within the gene rpsD. In one case, it is a duplication of a 31 nucl

A mutant of E. coli selected for temperature-sensitive growth on rich medium harbored an altered ribosomal protein S6 (Isono et al., 1976). This mutant was found to possess at least two mutations, one being responsible for the temperature-sensitivity and the other for the S6 alteration. Crosses with
