  • Title: The relA locus specifies a positive effector in branched-chain amino acid transport regulation.
    Author: Quay SC, Oxender DL.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1979 Feb; 137(2):1059-62. PubMed ID: 370095.
    Abstract:
    The regulation of branched-chain amino acid transport and periplasmic binding proteins was studied in Escherichia coli strains which were isogenic except for the relA locus, the gene for the "stringent factor," which is responsible for guanosine tetraphosphate synthesis. The strain containing the relA mutation could not be derepressed for the synthesis of leucine transport or binding proteins when shifted from a medium containing all 20 amino acids in excess to one in which leucine was limiting. The relA+ strain showed normal derepression under these conditions.
