Unusual stability and translation kinetics of an Escherichia coli lac messenger RNA synthetized during amino-acids deprivation
Escherichia coli, cultured on minimal medium and deprived of its required amino-acids, was induced for lac genes transcription. After inducer removal and restoration of growth, β-galactosidase synthesis was measured. Two different kinetics of enzyme synthesis were observed depending on the starvatio...
