Effect of L-methioninyl adenylate on the level of aminoacylation in vivo of tRNAMet from Escherichia coli K12

Abstract

In cells of E.coli K12 grown exponentially in minimal medium, tRNAmet, tRNAleu and tRNAile are aminoacylated at 100%, 80% and 64%, respectively.

On addition of L-methioninyl adenylate to the growth medium, one observes a specific deacylation of tRNAmet. When more than 35% of tRNAmet is deacylated, growth rate is reduced and becomes proportional to the amount of methionyl-tRNA formed.
