The steady-state levels of a number of aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetases are known to be positively correlated with growth rate in Escherichia coli. To describe the regulation of these enzymes during a nutritional shift-up, use was made of the recent identification of polypeptide chains of several synthetases in whole cell lysates resolved by the O'Farrell two-dimensional gel system. A culture growing in acetate minimal medium was shifted to glucose-rich medium and pulse labeled with [3H]leucine and [3H]isoleucine for 30- or 6-s intervals during the 20 min after the shift. After mixing with a uniformly [35S]sulfate-labeled reference culture, the samples were subjected to two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The 3H/35S ratio in the resolved synthetase polypeptides provided an accurate estimation of their transient rates of synthesis. Five aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetases (those for argnine, glycine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, and valine) exhibited an increase in formation within 30 to 90 s after the shift-up. The magnitude of the increases corresponded to the final steady-state values and were reached within 2 to 3 min. The addition to rifampin revealed that the increase in the differential rate of valyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase formation was the result of increased messenger ribonucleic acid transcription and not of a relaxation of some translation restriction.
