Isoleucine and Threonine Can Prolong Protein and Ribonucleic Acid Synthesis in Pyridoxine-Starved Mutants of Escherichia coli B

Pyridoxineless mutants of Escherichia coli B stopped incorporation of nucleosides into trichloroacetic acid-insoluble material about 40 to 60 min after pyridoxine starvation was initiated, whereas incorporation of amino acids (measured the same way) slowed but did not stop for several hours. Both these incorporations and cell density were increased most effectively by the presence of either threonine or isoleucine. Arginine, glutamate, histidine, methionine, tryptophan, and tyrosine also caused significant but less dramatic increases. Inducibility of β-galactosidase continued beyond the point where nucleic acids appeared to stop their synthesis, suggesting that messenger ribonucleic acid synthesis continued beyond ribosomal ribonucleic acid synthesis. This inducibility was also increased by isoleucine and threonine. The overall results suggest that the threonine-isoleucine biosynthetic pathway is the most sensitive to starvation for pyridoxine.
