Abstract
A mutant strain of Escherichia coli with temperature-sensitive peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase grows at 30 degrees C but, when shifted to 40 degrees C, dies at rates affected by physiological, pharmacological, and genetical perturbations. The rate of killing correlates with the relative accumulation of peptidyl-tRNA, suggesting that it is responsible for the death of the cells.
