title: Phosphorylation of glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase and threonyl-tRNA synthetase by the gene products of dnaK and dnaJ in Escherichia coli K-12 cells.
abstract: In Escherichia coli K-12, the heat shock protein DnaK and DnaJ participate in phosphorylation of both glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase and threonyl-tRNA synthetase since when cellular proteins extracted from the dnaK7(Ts), dnaK756(Ts) and dnaJ259(Ts) mutant cells labeled with 32Pi at 42 degrees C were analyzed by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, no phosphorylation of glutaminyl-tRNA synthetase and threonyl-tRNA synthetase was observed while phosphorylation of both aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases was detected in the samples extracted from wild-type cells.
