Abstract
- It is well know that protein synthesis stopped either by chloromycetin or by starvation of an essential amino acid for a RC <subscript>rel</subscript>strain, ribosomal RNA synthesis continues, but products do not appear in 50 S and 30 ribosomes. It has also been shown that 5 S RNA synthesis is altered by the addition of chloromycetin but in an unknown manner. In this paper we report that: (a) during amino-acid starvation of a starvation of RC<subscript>rel</subscript> strain of Escherichia coli, 5 S RNA is transcribed as 5 S relax RNA located outside the ribosomes, in the supernatant fraction; (b) this 5 S RNA which is slightly longer than the normal product is convertible into a true 5 S RNA when protein synthesis is restored after blockage of RNA synthesis by actinomycin ;(c) part of the 23 S RNA from a 25 S particle appears after resumption of protein synthesis in a 40 S parcel which contains normal 5S RNA; (d) a pool of 5 S precursor RNA exists outside the 50 S ribosome. This 5 S precursor RNA is isolated; (e) this precursor which is isolated from the 105000xg supernatant fraction after pulse labeling, migrates on gel electrophoresis between 5 S relax RNA and true 5 S RNA.
