✦ Synopsis

We have analysed the mechanism of action of a ts mutation in E. coli, which has an effect on the expression of the restriction and modification phenotype. The frequencies of recombinants obtained in transduction experiments support the idea that the temperature sensitive mutation is located outside the hsd operon in the gene denoted hsd.X. Complementation experiments demonstrated the trans-dominant nature of the temperature sensitive mutation. The possible role of the hsd.X product in the formation of EcoR.K and EcoM.K complexes and their interaction with the recognition site on the DNA is discussed.

Mutations affecting the glycogen biosynthesis in E. coli can be mapped at three different loci, glg A, glg B and glg C lying between asd and mal A. Transduction tests suggest the following order for the genes in this region: mal A--glg A--glg C--glg B--asd.

The promoter of the threonine operon was joined to the structural genes of the lac operon in Escherichia coli K 12. The synthesis of beta-galactosidase was thus repressed by threonine plus isoleucine in the fusion strains. To isolate mutations which affect the expression of the threonine operon, alt
