✦ Synopsis

The unusual recombinant plasmid pRC19 carrying the N-terminal fragment of the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase rpoB gene was found to specify high level rifampicin resistance of E. coli cells. Sequence analysis of this plasmid revealed one substitution only: transversion G----T, leading to amino acid substitution Val146----Phe. This mutational change marks the second domain of the beta subunit involved in rifampicin binding.

We studied the rate of synthesis of beta-and beta'-subunits of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase and the rate of beta-polypeptide mRNA synthesis in rifampicin-treated bacteria. The chosen antibiotic doses did not significantly inhibit the total RNA and protein synthesis in rifampicin-sensitive bacteria.
