Superinfection with bacteriophage T4: inverse relationship between genetic exclusion and membrane association of deoxyribonucleic acid of secondary bacteriophage.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Superinfection 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...
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 کاملInhibition of replication of ribonucleic acid bacteriophage f2 by superinfection with bacteriophage T4.
Superinfection by phage T4 of cells infected by the ribonucleic acid (RNA) phage f2 results in inhibition of further f2 production. Experiments using rifampin show that the exclusion of f2 requires T4 gene function soon after T4 infection. By using a sensitive new peptide-mapping procedure to identify f2 coat protein in infected cells, we show that synthesis of the f2 coat occurs at a reduced l...

متن کاملThe immunity (imm) gene of Escherichia coli bacteriophage T4.
The immunity (imm) gene of the Escherichia coli bacteriophage T4 effects exclusion of phage superinfecting cells already infected with T4. A candidate for this gene was placed under the control of the lac regulatory elements in a pUC plasmid. DNA sequencing revealed the presence of an open reading frame encoding a very lipophilic 83-residue (or 73-residue, depending on the unknown site of trans...
