title: Mutation affecting the thermolability of the 50S ribosomal subunit in Escherichia coli.
abstract: Genetic analysis of a mutation affecting the thermal response of the 50S ribosomal subunit to in vitro polyphenylalanine synthesis indicates that the gene, rit, is located near metB on the Escherichia coli chromosome and that the probable gene order is metB-rit-arg-rpo.
