The Study of the Role of RNA in the Transfer of Genetic Information. / Francois Gros was the co-discoverer of messenger RNA who also advanced French life sciences. The year 1961 marked an important stage in Gros' work. Invited by Professor James Dewey Watson to come and carry out a research internship in his laboratory at Harvard University, he managed to demonstrate, for the first time with researchers from this laboratory, the existence of messenger RNA. intermediaries . . . In 1963, Francois Gros was offered the leadership of the microbial physiology department of the Institute of Physico-Chemical Biology in Paris. There, joined by various researchers from the United States, he continued his work on messenger RNA (1963-1968) and demonstrated with his colleague Michel Revel (1966) the existence of proteins also called "initiation factors". » playing a major role in the "start" of genetic translation within cells (protein synthesis in contact with messenger RNA and ribosomes). / "The visit of Francois Gros in the spring of 1960 was crucial in focusing attention on messenger RNA." â" James D. Watson, "The involvement of RNA in the synthesis of proteins," Nobel Prize lecture. / "For Crick, four kinds of information transfer clearly existed: DNA [arrow right] DNA (DNA replication), DNA [arrow right] RNA (the first step of protein synthesis), RNA [arrow right] protein (the second step of protein synthesis) and RNA [arrow right] RNA (RNA viruses copying themselves). There were two steps for which there was no evidence but that Crick thought were possible . . . DNA [arrow right] protein (this would mean RNA was not involved in protein synthesis) and RNA [arrow right] DNA (structurally possible, but at the time, there no was no perceptible biological function)." â" Cobb. « Dans son livre Les secrets du gene, Francois Gros rapporte qu'il a obtenu avec Shiro Naono, dans le laboratoire de Jacques Monod, des rà sultats qui, eux aussi, indiquent l'implication d'un ARN, de renouvellement tres rapide, dans la synthese protà ique bactà rienne?; ils sont publià s en 1960, en francais, dans les Comptes Rendus de l'Acadà mie des sciences. » â" Christine Petit, « Francois Gros (1925â"2022), » Comptes Rendus.

Offprint: Journal of Bacteriology, Vol. 63, No. 4, pp. 473-485, April 1952. 3 figs., 6 tables, refs. Self-wraps; two rusted (original) staples, slight stain from rust. Signature of Robert DeMars and author's name notation on cover. Fine. FIRST EDITION(s) of James D. Watson's first published research papers, in support of his doctoral candidacy, dealing with inactivation of T2 bacteriophage with X-Rays. Luria and Dulbecco had previously discovered (1949) that bacteriophage could be inactivated by ultraviolet irradiation, and in this paper Watson describes similar effects obtained by X-Ray exposure. A result of this investigation was that the required "killing" dosage or "hits" is logarithmically related to the intensity of the exposure, unlike ultraviolet irradiation. Through a sophisticated technique using heat-inactivated E. coli, Watson was able to measure the adsorptive capacities of various T-phages and postulate the damage done to a phage's ability to adsorb and infect a host bacterium, resulting in subsequent lysis. In his second paper, Watson demonstrates the indirect effect of "hyperprotection" of X-Ray inactivated phage by concentrations of cysteine. "The struggle in the spring of 1950 was 'to write up minor results' for his thesis. He thought of it as 'torture.' He wrote the thesis in a month, but Salva 'did not like is' and took it home for rewriting. 'Not surprisingly,' Watson recalled, 'the thesis was accepted without fuss at my Ph.D. exam in late May.' He later reflected that he got his degree fast, 'not because I was really that bright, but because there was very much less to learn.'" [McElheny]. Provenance: Robert DeMars' copies of these papers. As the third graduate student mentored by Salvador Luria, DeMars went on to positions at Washington University (St. Louis) and the University of Wisconsin (Madison). His genetic research also involved investigations using strains of T bacteriophage. As a personal friend and colleague of the author, Watson gave copies of all his papers to DeMars as they were published. McElheny, Watson and DNA Making a Scientific Revolution, pp. 25-28.
