Three independent relB mutants were studied. During amino acid starvation they all accumulate RNA and produce an inhibitor of in vitro protein synthesis; after starvation growth is retarded for hours. The mutants differ in the degree to which the common phenotype is expressed, but the characteristic

✦ Synopsis
cur-l, a mutation found in many strains of the Y10 line of Escherichia coli K-12, but not previously described, maps at 27 rain, close to galU. cur-1 causes mucoidity or uracil requirement at 29 ° C depending on the genetic background. These phenotypes are suppressed by amber codon suppressors.

A temperature sensitive nonsense (TSN) mutant of E. coli K12 has been isolated in which a major bacterial protein is not synthesized at 42 degrees C. This protein is found in the parental strain at 42 degrees C and in cells rendered temperature resistant due to the insertion of a number of different
