A method to obtain amber mutations in ribosomal protein genes is described. tit relies on the P1-mediated localized mutagenesis (Hong and Ames, 1971) and on the fact that the recipient strain contains (a) an efficient but genetically unstable suppressor, (b) a particular thermoinducible lambda proph

Temperature-sensitive mutants of an Escherichia coli K-12 strain PA3092 have been isolated following mutagenesis with nitrosoguanidine, and their ribosomal proteins analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. This method was found to be very efficient in obtaining mutants with various structura
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
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 product of the dye gene of Escherichia coli, mapping at 99-100 min, is required for expression of the sex factor F, and also appears to be involved in the regulation of envelope proteins. Mutation of dye thus results in loss of expression of the F-factor (Fex-), i.e. male sterility, and dye sens
