Genetic dissection of T4 lysis.
t is the holin gene for coliphage T4, encoding a 218-amino-acid (aa) protein essential for the inner membrane hole formation that initiates lysis and terminates the phage infection cycle. T is predicted to be an integral membrane protein that adopts an N(in)-C(out) topology with a single transmembrane domain (TMD). This holin topology is different from those of the well-studied holins S105 (3 T...
متن کاملLysis of lysis-inhibited bacteriophage T4-infected cells.
T4 bacteriophage (phage)-infected cells show a marked increase in latent-period length, called lysis inhibition, upon adsorption of additional T4 phages (secondary adsorption). Lysis inhibition is a complex phenotype requiring the activity of at least six T4 genes. Two basic mysteries surround our understanding of the expression of lysis inhibition: (i) the mechanism of initiation (i.e., how se...
متن کاملControl of lysis of T4-infected Escherichia coli.
The lysis of Escherichia coli B/5 infected with T4Dr48 could be delayed by addition of 9-aminoacridine (9AA). Infected cells showed an early period of maximal response followed by a decline in sensitivity. The ultimate rate of lysis was also affected by the dye. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), protein, and lysozyme synthesis began at the normal time in complexes inhibited by 9AA addition. The rate...
متن کاملLysis of Escherichia coli cells induced by bacteriophage T4.
Structural changes in the envelope of Escherichia coli cells accompanying their lysis from without by bacteriophage T4 have been studied. The hypothesis concerning the role of collapse of membrane potential and formation of periplasmic vesicles in the process of lysis from without has been advanced.
متن کاملProgrammed Escherichia coli cell lysis by expression of cloned T4 phage lysis genes.
Self-disruptive Escherichia coli that produces foreign target protein was developed. E. coli was co-transformed with two vector plasmids, a target gene expression vector and a lysis gene expression vector. The lytic protein was produced after the expression of the target gene, resulting in simplification of the cell disruption process. In this study, the expression of cloned T4 phage gene e or ...
