Abstract
A DNA directed, cell-free system which synthesized L-ribulokinase coded by the L-arabinose operon ara OIBAD, has been developed. L-arabinose but not the araC gene product is required for the expression of this operon and, in addition, cyclic AMP and guanosine tetraphosphate are needed for optimal synthesis.
