General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction a truB null mutant grows normally on all growth media tested, but exhibits a competitive disadvantage in extended co-culture with its wild-type progenitor. The mutant phenotype can be complemented by both the cloned truB gene and by a D48C, catalytically inactive allele of truB. The truB mutant also exhibits a defect in survival of rapid transfer from 37 to 50°C Escherichia coli
physiological function pseudouridine-55 synthase is responsible for modifying all tRNA molecules in the cell at the uridine55 position. TruB-effected pseudouridine55 modification of tRNA is not essential, but contributes to thermal stress tolerance in Escherichia. coli, possibly by optimizing the stability of the tRNA population at high temperatures Escherichia coli
