Interruption-deficient mutants of bacteriophage T5: analysis of single-site mutants.
The properties of viable mutants of bacteriophage T5 that lack, singly, each of the four major sites at which single-chain interruptions normally occur in T5 DNA are described. The mutations responsible for loss of each interruption were mapped by analysis with HhaI, a restriction endonuclease with a cleavage site (pGCGC) that occurs at the 5' termini of the major interruptions (B. P. Nichols a...
متن کاملGenetic suppressors of bacteriophage t5 amber mutants.
Nonsense mutations in structural genes appear to abort polypeptide chain synthesis at the amino acid site governed by the mutant codon. The two presently recognized types of nonsense mutant, amber and ochre, have been assigned the codons UAG and UAA, respectively. Certain bacteria harbor one or more genetic suppressors that counteract the effect of appropriate nonsense mutations in their own st...
متن کاملMapping of Temperature-sensitive Mutants in Bacteriophage T5.
5, one of the classical T phages of Escherichia coli, has been the subject of many studies, but its genetic analysis has been sporadic. Beginning with heatstable ( s t ) mutants (ADAMS and LARK 1950; ADAMS 1953), there have been reports of mutants with altered host range (LANNI and LANNI 1956), serological behavior (LANNI and LANNI 1957), lysis-inhibiting properties (U. T. LANNI 1958), and buoy...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide-deficient, bacteriophage-resistant mutants of Escherichia coli K-12.
Bacteriophage-resistant mutants isolated and classified in a previous study were examined for alterations in their lipopolysaccharide (LPS) composition, and properties likely to be affected by alterations in LPS composition were studied. It was found that many of the mutants of the Ktw (K2-resistance), Ttk (T2, T4, or K19 resistance), Bar (bacteriophage), Wrm (wide-range mutants), and miscellan...
متن کاملIsolation and partial characterization of bacteriophage T5 mutants deficient in the ability to induce deoxynucleoside monophosphate kinase.
Two mutants of bacteriophage T5 deficient in the ability to induce wild-type levels of deoxynucleoside monophosphate kinase were isolated and partially characterized. Both mutations were demonstrated to be in a structural gene for the kinase. One of the mutants, designated dnk 10, induces no detectable levels of dCMP, dGMP, or dTMP kinase activity. Because the mutant can successfully infect non...
