The fraction of the total ribonucleic acid (RNA) synthesis rate that is messenger RNA (mRNA) for ribosomal protein (r-protein) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) has been estimated in valS(Ts) rel+ stringent and valS(Ts) relA1 relaxed strains of Escherichia coli during a partial inhibition of valyl-transfer RNA aminoacylation. The partial inhibition was accomplished by shifting the strains from the permissive growth temperature of 29.5 degrees C to the semipermissive temperature of 35.5 degrees C. The RNA synthesized at the elevated temperature was pulse labeled with [3H]uracil. The fraction of the total incorpoarted 3H radioactivity in r-protein mRNA or in rRNA was estimated by specific hybridization to the transducing phages gammaspc1, which carries about 15 r-protein genes and lambdailv5, which carries an rRNA transcription unit. The results clearly demonstrate that the rel gene influences the fraction of the total RNA synthesis rate that is r protein mRNA and rRNA; in the rel+ strain they are significantly increased relative to control cultures. This indicates that the expression of the genes coding for the RNA and protein component of the ribosome are most likely regulated at the level of transcription. Furthermore, it appears that the distribution of functioning RNA polymerase between rRNA genes, r-protein genes, and other types of genes is influenced by the rel gene control system; presumably this influence is mediated through the unusual nucleotide guanosine tetraphosphate.
