A strain of Escherichia coli lacking the entire ponB gene and a strain lacking the proximal part of the ponA gene were constructed by substitution with a drug resistance gene. These strains lost either penicillin-binding protein(PBP)-I b or -la totally and their growth was apparently normal at 30 °
Mutants of Escherichia coli have been isolated containing streptomycin suppressors that exhibit novel phenotypes with respect to strA alleles. In one class of these mutants, the suppressor effect parallels a strong binding to the ribosome of an additional protein in at least stoichiometric amounts.
A suppressor mutation of a temperature-sensitive mutant of ribosomal protein L24 (rplX19) was mapped close to the lon gene by genetic analysis and was shown to affect protease LA. The degradation and the synthesis rates of individual ribosomal proteins were determined. Proteins L24, L14, L15 and L27
The mutant nusA DNAs (nusAll and nusA1) were sequenced. Single base substitutions caused by these mutations were found in the coding region of nusA. The nusAll mutation, which is conditionally lethal, substituted Thr for the 181st Ala. Also, nusA1, which restricts 2 growth, substituted Ala for the 1
