Temperature-sensitive mutation in regulation of ribonucleic acid synthesis in Escherichia coli.
An Escherichia coli mutant dependent on exogenous transfer ribonucleic acid (RNA) for bulk RNA formation at 42 C has been isolated, starting from a parental strain permeable to RNA. In the absence of added transfer RNA at the high temperature, protein synthesis stopped, and the strain formed little if any ribosomal RNA.
