A lambda phage has been isolated which specifically transduces the Escherichia coli pheS and pheT genes coding for the alpha and beta subunits of the phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase (PRS). This phage transduces with high frequency (i) several temperature-sensitive PRS mutants to thermoresistance and (i

An amber fragment of the beta subunit of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase has been recovered from strains carrying the rpoB12 amber mutation, indicating that the B12 mutation resides in the structural gene for the beta subunit. The fragment is readily assayed and can be used to determine the degree o
Bacteria with specific temperature sensitive lethal mutations in the gene for the beta' subunit of RNA polymerase synthesize both the beta and beta' subunits at a several fold higher rate at 42 degrees C than wild-type cells relative to total protein. Synthesis of the alpha and sigma subunits procee
The adjacent genes rpoB and rpoC code for the beta and beta' subunits of RNA polymerase in Escherichia coli, and are cotranscribed in the order given. The nearest known genes to rpoB are rplL and rplA,J,K, which code for ribosomal proteins, and which are transcribed in the same direction as the poly
We report the fine mapping of 55 of our 95 amber mutations in the β gene of __Escherichia coli__ RNA polymerase by virtue of the unique __Mae__I restriction sites created by this subset of nonsense mutations (i.e. CTAG, where the amber codon is underlined). [The full data are reported in Supplementa
