[Regulation of lysyl-tRNA synthetase of Escherichia coli K12]. 1975

F Reinisch, and E Boy, and J C Patte

In Escherichia coli K 12, addition of lysine to the growth medium does not lead to a repression of the synthesis of the lysyl-tRNA synthetase. On the contrary, by use of a strain bradytrophic for one of the lysine biosynthetic enzymes, a shift from a medium containing lysine to minimal medium leads to an increase in the specific activity for this enzyme. This increase is discrete (1.5 fold) but reproducible. Thus it may be assumed that lysyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the lysine regulon.

D004790	Enzyme Induction	An increase in the rate of synthesis of an enzyme due to the presence of an inducer which acts to derepress the gene responsible for enzyme synthesis.	Induction, Enzyme
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
