Abstract
The regulation of synthesis of valyl-, leucyl-, and isoleucyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetases was examined in strains of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. When valine and isoleucine were limiting growth, the rate of formation of valyl-tRNA synthetase was derepressed about sixfold; addition of these amino acids caused repression of synthesis of this enzyme. The rate of synthesis of the isoleucyl- and leucyl-tRNA synthetases was derepressed only during growth restriction by the cognate amino acid. Restoration of the respective amino acid to these derepressed cultures caused repression of synthesis of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase, despite the resumption of the wild-type growth rate.
