Requirement of protein synthesis for bacteriophage phi X174 superinfection exclusion.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within 5 to 10 min at 37 C, bacteria infected by bacteriophage phiX174 acquire the ability to exclude superinfecting phiX 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 and its maintenance require protein synthesis.

Requirement 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 کاملSecond-site suppressors of a cold-sensitive prohead accessory protein of bacteriophage phi X174.
This study describes the isolation of second-site suppressors which correct for the defects associated with cold-sensitive (cs) prohead accessory proteins of bacteriophage phi X174. Five phenotypically different suppressors were isolated. Three of these suppressors confer novel temperature-sensitive (ts) phenotypes. They were unable to complement a ts mutation in gene F which encodes the major ...
متن کاملUnique primed start of phage phi X174 DNA replication and mobility of the primosome in a direction opposite chain synthesis.
A specific fragment of the phi X174 viral circle sustains the primed start of complementary DNA strand synthesis in vitro, even though the intact circle permits primed starts at many sites. The 300-nucleotide fragment from restriction nuclease digestion contains the recognition site for protein n', a DNA-dependent ATPase essential for priming phi X174 DNA replication. This n' recognition site c...
متن کاملEndogenous transmembrane tunnel formation mediated by phi X174 lysis protein E.
Biochemical and genetic studies have suggested that a transmembrane tunnel structure penetrating the inner and outer membranes is formed during the lytic action of bacteriophage phi X174 protein E. In this study we directly visualized the lysis tunnel by using high-magnification scanning and transmission electron microscopy.
متن کاملSuperinfection in bacteriophage S13 and determination of the number of bacteriophage particles which can function in an infected cell.
Bacteriophage S13 shows exclusion of superinfecting homologous phage, but the exclusion is only partial. The superinfecting phage can form infectious replicative form deoxyribonucleic acid (RF), can direct protein synthesis, and can form progeny particles even at a superinfection time as late as 60 min after the first infection. Exclusion is also only partial for the closely related phage phiX1...
