✦ Synopsis


The characteristics of Bacillus subtilis dnaF, a mutation specifying a temperature sensitive phenotype, were examined to determine its relationship to polC, the gene specifying the structure of DNA polymerase III (pol III). Exposure of growing cells bearing dnaF to non-permissive temperature inhibited replicative DNA synthesis and specifically depressed the expression of pol III activity in crude extracts. Highly purified pol III derived from cells bearing dnaF was temperature.sensitive in its polymerase activity, indicating that dnaF is a specific, polC mutation which specifies a structurally altered enzyme.

polC, the gene specifying the structure of the replication-specific DNA polymerase III of B. subtilis, was mapped by exploiting azp-12, a mutation conferring resistance to azopyrimidine which determines a mutant, azopyrimidine-resistant enzyme. azp-12 was located in the area of the pyrA locus and is

An E. coli mutant rpoA109 unable to support the growth of phage P2 produces DNA-dependent RNA polymerase with an altered alpha subunit. Histidine is substituted for leucine in one tryptic peptide from the mutant alpha subunit. The existence of only one rpoA gene within the E. coli chromosome is indi
