Superinfection exclusion by bacteriophage T7.
Only two of the early genes of bacteriophage T7 were found to play a significant role in exclusion of superinfecting bacteriophage T3 particles; genes 0.3 and 1. Protein synthesis by the preinfecting phage particle was not required for efficient exclusion. These findings are discussed with regard to the known functions of these genes during T7 development.
متن کاملRequirement of Protein Synthesis for Bacteriophage stX 174 Superinfection Exclusion
Within 5 to 10 min at 37 C, bacteria infected by bacteriophage OX174 acquire the ability to exclude superinfecting OX particles from reproducing themselves. The superinfecting phage are blocked at a stage prior to synthesis of the parental replicative form molecule; the superinfecting deoxyribonucleic acid remains as intact (infective) single strands. Establishment of superinfection exclusion a...
متن کاملThe superimmunity gene sim of bacteriophage P1 causes superinfection exclusion.
Previous work has shown that the sim gene of bacteriophage P1, if cloned into a multicopy vector, confers immunity against P1 infection to cells. We show that a 1.85-kb DNA fragment from the sim region of P1 (in the multicopy plasmid pMK4) expresses immunity and encodes three proteins with molecular weights of about 25, 24, and 15 kDa. Deletion of 650 bp from the sim region abolished synthesis ...

متن کاملRefactoring bacteriophage T7
Natural biological systems are selected by evolution to continue to exist and evolve. Evolution likely gives rise to complicated systems that are difficult to understand and manipulate. Here, we redesign the genome of a natural biological system, bacteriophage T7, in order to specify an engineered surrogate that, if viable, would be easier to study and extend. Our initial design goals were to p...
