Abstract
The possiblity that polyamines can stimulate the synthesis of special kinds of proteins was examined by using a polyamine-requiring mutant of E. coli. Synthesis of some proteins, particularly one with a MW of 62,000 (62K), was significantly stimulated following polyamine supplementation of polyamine-starved cells. The preferential stimulation of the synthesis of this polyamine-induced protein of MW 62K (PI protein) was followed by the stimulation of overall protein synthesis by polyamines. PI protein was purified to homogeneity and some of its properties were examined. Studies on the effect of PI protein on phage MS2 RNA directed protein synthesis showed that this protein stimulated the synthesis of RNA replicase by 2.2-fold in the presence of 1 mM spermidine.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
