RESUMO
Inhibition of ribonucleic acid synthesis in Escherichia coli 15 TAU bar with rifampin or streptolydigin leads to large increases in the sizes of cellular ribonucleoside and deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate pools. Inhibition of protein synthesis leads to increases in the sizes of all nucleoside triphosphate pools except the guanosine triphosphate and deoxyguanosine triphosphate pools; a decrease in the size of the latter pool may be responsible for the slowing of deoxyribonucleic acid replication fork movement observed in this strain in the absence of protein synthesis. Analysis of the kinetics of incorporation of labeled precursors into deoxyribonucleic acid and into cellular pools suggests that functional compartmentation of nucleotide pools exists, allowing the incorporation of exogenously supplied precursors into deoxyribonucleic acid without prior equilibration with the cellular pools.
