THE CHARACTERIZATION OF A NEW SPECIES OF LEUCYL-sRNA FORMED DURING METHIONINE DEPRIVATION OF ESCHERICHIA COLI WITH RELAXED CONTROL

Abstract
Analysis by chromatog-raphy on methylated albumin columns has provided a device for the characterization of a unique species of leucine-sRNA that accumulates during relaxed control. By the use of various related mutants of E. coli, evidence was obtained indicating that the formation of this species of leucyl-sRNA is the result of de novo synthesis of sRNA in the absence of the methyl donor ordinarily used to complete the synthesis of methylated bases at the polynucleotide level.
