Construction and characterization of an Escherichia coli plasmid bearing a functional gene G of bacteriophage phiX174.
In order to study the mutagenic effects of site-specific, covalent modifications of biologically active DNA, we need host cells that are permissive for any type of mutation that might be produced in vivo from the modified DNA. Specifically, we require a general, in vivo complementation system for the bacteriophage phiX174 gene G, an essential gene that we have chosen for our initial studies of ...
متن کاملThe nucleotide sequence of the B gene of bacteriophage Mu.
Bacteriophage Mu is a highly efficient transposon which requires the products of the Mu A and B genes in order to transpose at a normal frequency. We have determined the nucleotide sequence of the B gene as well as that of the A-B intergenic region upstream of B. The protein product of the gene contains 312 amino acids and has a predicted molecular weight of 35,061. As expected, there do not ap...
متن کاملThe rate of compensatory mutation in the DNA bacteriophage phiX174.
A compensatory mutation occurs when the fitness loss caused by one mutation is remedied by its epistatic interaction with a second mutation at a different site in the genome. This poorly understood biological phenomenon has important implications, not only for the evolutionary consequences of mutation, but also for the genetic complexity of adaptation. We have carried out the first direct exper...
متن کاملDirection of Translation and Size of Bacteriophage phiX174 Cistrons.
Translation of the bacteriophage phiX174 genome follows cistron order D-E-F-G-H-A-B-C. To establish this, the position of a nonsense mutation on the genetic map was compared with the physical size (molecular weight) of the appropriate protein fragment generated in nonpermissive cells. Distances on the phiX174 genetic map and distances on a physical map constructed from the molecular weights of ...
متن کاملGenetics of bacteriophage P22. II. Gene order and gene function.
Although large numbers of temperate phages are known to exist in nature, only a small number of these have been examined in much detail. Foremost among these is the coliphage ~, which has been studied in great depth over the past two decades. However, it is already quite clear that phage ~ represents only one alternative among many with respect to any of its interesting properties. Most other t...
