✦ Synopsis

Three independent relB mutants were studied. During amino acid starvation they all accumulate RNA and produce an inhibitor of in vitro protein synthesis; after starvation growth is retarded for hours. The mutants differ in the degree to which the common phenotype is expressed, but the characteristic thermolability of the inhibitor is the same. The phenotype of the relB mutants is accentuated by amber suppressors, and this effect is counteracted by a mutation, pus-1 that maps at 19.5 min near aroA.

Mutation of the ruv gene of E. coli is associated with sensitivity to radiation, and filamentous growth after transient inhibition of DNA synthesis. The filamentation of ruv strains is abolished by mutations in sfiA or sfiB that prevent SOS induced inhibition of cell division, but this does not rest

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.
