Abstract The genes mnmE and mnmG are responsible for the modification of uridine 34, ‘the wobble position’ of many aminoacyl-tRNAs. Deletion of these genes affects the strength of the codon-anticodon interactions of the aminoacyl-tRNAs with the mRNAs and the ribosomes. However, deletion of these genes does not usually have a significant effect on the growth rate of the standard Escherichia coli strains. In contrast, we have found that if the host E. coli strain is deficient in the synthesis of polyamines, deletion of the mnmE or mnmG gene results in complete inhibition of growth unless the medium contains polyamines. The finding of an absolute requirement for polyamines in our current work will be significant in studies on polyamine function, in studies on the function of the mnmE/G genes, and in studies on the role of aminoacyl-tRNAs in protein biosynthesis.
