title: Influence of cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate on uracil uptake by rifampicin treated Escherichia coli cells.
abstract: Incubation of cells from a wild type strain of E. coli with 0.3 mg/ml rifampicin for 15 minutes lead to a complete inhibition of RNA synthesis measured as the uracil incorporation into the trichloroacetic acid insoluble fraction. In these rifampicin-treated cells [14C]uracil incorporation tended to decrease during a further incubation at 37 degrees. Addition of cyclic AMP increased the inactivation of the system responsible for [14C]uracil uptake. The cyclic nucleotide effect seems to be specific since ATP or 5'AMP did not increase such inactivation.
