Intragenic complementation by gene 42 amber mutations of bacteriophage T4.
نویسنده
چکیده
Phage T4 amber mutants defective in gene 42 (dCMP hydroxymethylase) were shown by in vivo and in vitro experiments to participate in both positive and negative intragenic complementation. This argues that incomplete polypeptide chains can participate in subunit interaction.

gene. in phage, may be defined as the hereditary information determining A the primary structure of a polypeptide chain. In the absence of information concerning mutational alterations of specific proteins, the operational definition of a gene is usually derived from complementation tests. Cells containing two functioning genomes with different recessive mutations in the trans configuration are...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of conditional alleles of bacteriophage T4 genes uvsX and uvsY.
The bacteriophage T4 uvsW, uvsX and uvsY gene functions are required for wild-type levels of recombination and for normal survival and mutagenesis after treatments with ultraviolet (UV) and ionizing radiations. The ability of uvsX and uvsY mutations to suppress the lethality of gene 49 mutations was used to select temperature-sensitive and amber alleles of these two genes. (uvsW mutations do no...
متن کاملGenetic mapping of regA mutants of bacteriophage T4D.
SP62, a mutant of bacteriophage T4 shown by Wiberg et al. (1973) to be defective in regulation of T4 protein synthesis, was shown by complementation tests to define a new gene, regA, and by intergenic mapping to lie between genes 43 and 62. The mapping involved crossing SP62 with a quadruple amber mutant defective in genes 42, 43, 62, and 44, selecting all six classes of amber-containing recomb...
متن کاملAmber mutants of bacteriophage T4D: their isolation and genetic characterization.
We have isolated a large number of mutants of bacteriophage T4D that are unable to form plaques on strain B of Escherichia coli, but are able to grow (nearly) normally on some other strains of E. coli, in particular strain CR63. These mutants, designated amber (am), have been characterized by complementation tests, by genetic crosses, and by their response to chemical mutagens. It is concluded ...
متن کاملA Comparative Genetic Study of Conditional Lethal Mutations of Bacteriophage T4d.
WO types of conditional lethal mutations have been described for bacteriophage T4D. Amber (am) mutants can propagate in Escherichia coli K-12 (strain CR63) but are unable to complete a successful infective cycle of growth in strain B (EPSTEIN, STEINBERG and BOLLE 1964). Temperature-sensitive ( t s ) mutants can grow in either strain at 25"C, but unlike the wild-type phage from which they are de...
