Host cell deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase I and the support of T4 bacteriophage growth.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ultraviolet irradiation of Escherichia coli polA(-) cells reduces their capacity to support the growth of T4 phage. There is no additional loss of capacity observed in pol tsA(-)recA(-) double mutants at the nonpermissive temperature. The reversion frequency of a T4 rII mutant after ultraviolet irradiation is not changed by the absence of host deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase I.

Altered properties of deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase I isolated from the membrane of bacteriophage T4-infected Escherichia coli.
Previous studies have shown that a large fraction of the host cell deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase I (EC 2.7.7.7) becomes associated with the cell membrane shortly after infection with bacteriophages T4 and T7. The present investigation of the bound enzyme revealed that the polymerase activity can be eluted from the membrane with chelating agents, and that the material thus obtained show...
متن کاملOn the direction of reading of bacteriophage T4 gene 43 (deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase).
Amber (am) mutants of the two closely linked sites, B22 and C125, in bacteriophage T4 gene 43 [deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) polymerase] synthesize in the nonpermissive (su(-)) Escherichia coli host gene 43 products which are devoid of DNA polymerase activity, but which retain a 3'-exonuclease activity. Diethylaminoethyl-cellulose chromatographic analysis of DNA polymerase and deoxyribonuclease a...
متن کاملSuperinfection with bacteriophage T4: inverse relationship between genetic exclusion and membrane association of deoxyribonucleic acid of secondary bacteriophage.
The majority of the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of superinfecting T4 bacteriophage which is injected and not hydrolyzed does not attach to host cell membrane. Low levels of association of secondary phage DNA with membrane appear to be related to temporal genetic exclusion.
متن کاملNuclear disruption after infection of Escherichia coli with a bacteriophage T4 mutant unable to induce endonuclease II.
Nuclear disruption after infection of Escherichia coli with a bacteriophage T4 mutant deficient in the ability to induce endonuclease II indicates that either (i) the endonuclease II-catalyzed reaction is not the first step in host deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) breakdown or (ii) nuclear disruption is independent of nucleolytic cleavage of the host chromosome. M-band analysis demonstrates that the...
متن کاملEnzymatic synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid. IX. The polymerase formed after T2 bacteriophage infection of Escherichia coli: a new enzyme.
The synthesis of T2 bacteriophage deoxyribonucleic acid is now known to depend on the development of a series of new enzymes which are undetectable in uninfected Escherichia coli (2-7). An augmented rate of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis also occurs (8) which is accompanied by an approximately lo-fold increase in polymerase activity in extracts of these cells, as compared with extracts of unin...
