Lysyl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase activity was compared in three independently isolated Escherichia coli K-12 mutants of the enzyme S-adenosyl-L-methionine synthetase (metK mutants) and their isogenic parents. In all three cases the activity of the lysyl-tRNA synthetase was elevated two- to fourfold in the mutant strains. Glycyl-L-leucine (3 mM) usually enhanced lysyl-tRNA synthetase activity two- to threefold in wild-type cells but did not further stimulate the synthetase activity in metK mutants. By two other criteria, the lysyl-tRNA synthetase from wild-type cells grown with the peptide and from the metK mutant RG62, grown in minimal medium, were similar. These criteria are enhanced resistance to thermal inactivation and altered susceptibility to endogenous proteases when compared with the synthetase from wild-type cells grown in minimal medium. In a separate set of experiments, the activities of the lysyl-, arginyl-, seryl-, and valyl-tRNA synthetases were measured in an isogenic pair of relt and rel strains of E. coli grown in a relatively poor growth medium (acetate) and in enriched medium. In the rel+ strain the level of all four synthetases was higher (two- to fourfold) in the enriched medium as expected. In the rel strain the difference in the activities of the synthetases between the two media were diminished. In all four cases the activities of the synthetases were higher in acetate medium in the rel strain. Evidence is presented that these two modes of metabolic regulation act independently.
