The regulation of the S10 ribosomal protein operon of Escherichia coli was studied by using a lambda prophage containing the beginning of the S10 operon (including the promoter, leader, and first one and one-half structural genes) fused to lacZ. The synthesis of the lacZ fusion protein encoded by the phage showed the expected inhibition during oversynthesis of ribosomal protein L4, the autogenous regulatory protein of the S10 operon. Moreover, the fusion gene responded to a nutritional shift-up in the same way that genuine ribosomal protein genes did. However, the gene did not exhibit the expected growth rate-dependent regulation during steady-state growth. Thus, the genetic information carried on the prophage is sufficient for L4-mediated autogenous control and a normal nutritional shift-up response but is not sufficient for steady-state growth rate-dependent control. These results suggest that, at least for the 11-gene S10 ribosomal protein operon, additional regulatory processes are required to coordinate the synthesis of ribosomal proteins with cell growth rate and, furthermore, that sequences downstream of the proximal one and one-half genes of the operon are involved in this control.

Autogenous control is not sufficient to ensure steady-state growth rate-dependent regulation of the S10 ribosomal protein operon of Escherichia coli
