Abstract
When studying mutants affecting lysyl-tRNA synthetase or tRNAlys (hisT, hisW), a lack of correlation is clearly observed between the amount of lysyl-tRNA and the level of derepression of several lysine biosynthetic enzymes. This exlcudes the possible role of lysyl-tRNA as the specific corepressor of the lysine regulon. However, the level of derepression of DAP-decarboxylase, the last enzyme of the lysine pathway, is very low in the hisT mutant; this indicates that tRNAlys is a secondary effector involved in the regulation of the synthesis of this enzyme.Entities:
