We have isolated a mutant form of Escherichia coli ribosomal protein S4. This mutant is temperature sensitive and apparently fails to autogenously regulate the gene products of the alpha operon, which consists of the genes for proteins S13, S11, S4, L17, and the alpha subunit of RNA polymerase (1). We have shown that this mutation results in the production of an S4 protein with a molecular weight approximately 4,000 daltons less than the wild-type protein. Our chemical analyses demonstrate that the mutant protein is missing its C-terminal section consisting of residues 170-203. However, our studies to determine the capacity of this mutant protein to bind 16S RNA show that this protein is unimpaired in RNA binding function. This observation suggests that the functional domain of protein S4 responsible for translational regulation of the S4 gene products requires more of the protein than the 16S RNA binding domain.
