RESUMO
In Escherichia coli the relA and pyrG loci are 99% cotransducible. On the basis of this knowledge, we have isolated lambdacI857S7dpyrG transducing bacteriophages carrying both the pyrG and relA genes. Single lysogens of this bacteriophage show basal levels of ppGpp that are 10-fold higher than normal. Stringent factor is present among the gene products synthesized by lambdadpyrG relA after infection of ultraviolet-killed cells, as analyzed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The intracellular content of stringent factor, as determined by enzymatic activity, rises 20-fold after induction of a single lysogen of lambdadpyrG relA. As measured by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis, the amount of stringent factor in an exponentially growing strain carrying a pyrG relA plasmid is at least 10-fold greater than in a normal strain. These data constitute strong evidence that stringent factor is the relA gene product.
