First enzyme of histidine biosynthesis and repression control of histidyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase of Salmonella typhimurium

W G Coleman Jr et al. J Bacteriol. 1974 Oct.

Abstract

The regulation of formation of histidyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase was examined in strains of Salmonella typhimurium. When the first of the histidine-forming enzymes was wild type, the presence of 2-thiazolealanine in the growth medium prevented repression of histidyl-tRNA synthetase formation elicited by the addition of 1, 2, 4-triazole-3-alanine to these cultures. Conversely, thiazolealanine had no effect on repression of histidyl-tRNA synthetase formation by triazolealanine in hisG mutant strains. These data suggest a relationship between the control of histidyl-tRNA synthetase formation and the functional state of the histidine operon.
