Abstract
The Escherichia coli strain D2216 contains a kirromycin-resistant elongation factor Tu [EF-Tu(D2216); Fischer, E., Wolf, H., Hantke K., & Parmeggiani, A. (1977) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 74, 4341-4345]. This stain grows much more slowly than wild-type E. coli strains and contains less than half the amount of EF-Tu. On isoelectric focusing, the whole cell lysate of strain D2216 as well as pure, crystalline EF-Tu(D2216) comprises only a single species indistinguishable from wild-type EF-Tu. In poly(uridylic acid)- [poly(U)] directed poly(phenylalanine) synthesis, enzymatic binding of aminoacyl transfer ribonucleic acid to the ribosome, and susceptibility to trypsin digestion, EF-Tu(D2216) behaves similarly to the EF-Tu from wild-type strains. Kirromycin, which increases the sensitivity to trypsinization of wild-type EF-Tu, has no effect on mutant EF-Tu. In poly(U)-directed poly(phenylalanine) synthesis, partially trypsinized EF-Tu(D2216) displays a 7-fold reduction of its kirromycin resistance as compared to the intact EF-Tu(D2216). This is approximately 300 times less sensitive to the antibiotic than wild-type EF-Tu. The EF-Tu(D2216), purified and crystallized, exhibits a guanosine 5'-triphosphatase activity in the absence o...Continue Reading
