Response of a phage modification factor to enhanced production of its target molecule.

PMCID: PMC254690  PMID: 3881597

Abstract

Escherichia coli cells with plasmids bearing the valS gene were constructed from the Clark-Carbon collection. Their increased valyl-tRNA synthetase (EC 6.1.1.9) activity was not matched by commensurate production of a modifying peptide during T4 infection. Thus, phage vs gene expression is set to modify the normal amount of valyl-tRNA synthetase activity.
