The expression of the gene for threonyl-tRNA synthetase (thrS) is negatively autoregulated at the translational level in Escherichia coli. The synthetase binds to a region of the thrS leader mRNA upstream from the ribosomal binding site inhibiting subsequent translation. The leader mRNA consists of four structural domains. The present work shows that mutations in these four domains affect expression and/or regulation in different ways. Domain 1, the 3' end of the leader, contains the ribosomal binding site, which appears not to be essential for synthetase binding. Mutations in this domain probably affect regulation by changing the competition between the ribosome and the synthetase for binding to the leader. Domain 2, 3' from the ribosomal binding site, is a stem and loop with structural similarities to the tRNA(Thr) anticodon arm. In tRNAs the anticodon loop is seven nucleotides long, mutations that increase or decrease the length of the anticodon-like loop of domain 2 from seven nucleotides abolish control. The nucleotides in the second and third positions of the anticodon-like sequence are essential for recognition and the nucleotide in the wobble position is not, again like tRNA(Thr). The effect of mutations in domain 3 indicate that it acts as an articulation between domains 2 and 4. Domain 4 is a stable arm that has similarities to the acceptor arm of tRNA(Thr) and is shown to be necessary for regulation. Based on this mutational analysis and previous footprinting experiments, it appears that domains 2 and 4, those analogous to tRNA(Thr), are involved in binding the synthetase which inhibits translation probably by interfering with ribosome loading at the nearby translation initiation site.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
