The Queen Substance 1, a pheromone of the queen Honeybee Apis mellifica is an in vitro inhibitor of E. coli B tRNA methylations. This activity is not specific of the methylase source, as inhibitions have been observed with preparations from queen honeybee ovaries, Rat liver or a Mouse plasmocytoma 1-adenine methylase. These results, together with preceding ones concerning t, t-farnesyl-acetone 3, are discussed.
