Polyamines and protein synthesis: Studies in various polyamine-requiring mutants of Escherichia coli

Different Escherichia coli mutants auxotrophic for polyamines were studied in order to investigate the relationships among polypeptide synthesis in cell-free systems, ribosomal distribution profiles and endogenous polyamine pools. The in vitro protein synthetic activity and the polyribosomal content...
