Inhibition of nucleoside Q formation in transfer ribonucleic acid during methionine starvation of relaxed-control Escherichia coli.

Inhibition of nucleoside Q formation in transfer ribonucleic acid during methionine starvation of relaxed-control Escherichia coli. J R Katze and R D Mosteller ABSTRACT The elution profiles of Asp-tRNA from unstarved and starved cultures of a relaxed-control (Rel-) strain of Escherichia coli were compared by reversed-phase chromatography. Methionine starvation results in the appearance of several additional species of Asp-tRNA which are not observed with starvation for leucine or histidine. By the criterion of cyanogen bromide-effected shifts in chromatographic elution position, a large portion of the tRNAAsp synthesized in methionine-starved cells lacks the normal Q nucleoside. By the same criterion, virtually all of the tRNAAsp from unstarved, leucine-starved, and histidine-starved cells contain Q. We conclude that methionine starvation prevents the formation of the norma Q nucleoside in Rel- E. coli.
