✦ Synopsis
Spontaneous revertants of a temperature-sensitive Escherichia coli strain harboring a thermolabile leucyl-tRNA synthetase and seryl-tRNA synthetase were selected for growth at 40 degrees C. Among these, strains were found with increased levels of both thermolabile synthetases. Two distinct genetic loci were found responsible for enzyme overproduction. leuR, located near xyl, causes elevated levels of leucyl-tRNA synthetase; while serR, located near leu, causes elevated levels of seryl-tRNA synthetase.

The influence of tRNA on the kinetics of PP-ATP exchange and aminoacyl-tRNA formation catalysed by leucyl-, phenylalanyl-, and tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetases has been investigated. These enzymes were chosen because they belong to three main classes of quaternary structure t~l, ot2/32 and a2, respecti
