The differential rate of ribosomal protein synthesis,αr(ribosomal protein synthesis rate/total protein synthesis rate), was measured forEscherichia colistrain B/r growing at different steady-state rates ranging from 0.67 to 2.3 doublings/hour. For growth rates above 1.2 doublings/hour,αrwas found to be proportional to the growth rate μ (doublings/h), such thatαr= 0.09 μ, and the ribosome efficiency (amino acids polymerized/second per ribosome), calculated fromαr, was found to be 14 to 18 amino acids/second per ribosome. With decreasing growth rates below 1.2 doublings/hour,αrwas found to be increasingly greater than 0.09 μ and the ribosome efficiency gradually decreased such that atμ= 0.67,αr= 0.085, and the ribosome efficiency was reduced by 30% and was equal to 10 to 13 ammo acids/second per ribosome. These results imply that the protein to DNA ratio is constant forμ> 1.2 and equal to 4 × 108to 5 × 108amino acids/genome. Forμ< 1.2, this ratio gradually decreases such that atμ= 0.67, protein to DNA = 3 × 108to 4 × 108amino acids/genome. These relationships were verified by direct measurements of the amounts of DNA, RNA and protein at different steady-state growth rates. In addition, protein accumulation was measured following a nutritional shift-up from succinate to glucose minimal medium. The results indicate that the ribosome efficiency increases by approximately 40% within the first few minutes following the shift-up.
