Mutants of E. coli B/1 were isolated which grew normally but did not permit the intracellular growth of bacteriophage T7. Two classes of mutants were studied in detail (tsnB(-) and tsnC(-)). These strains adsorbed T7 normally and were killed by the infection. Synthesis of T7 RNA and of early and late classes of T7 proteins occurred normally after infection. In T7-infected tsnB(-) cells, T7 DNA synthesis stopped prematurely shortly after its onset, suggesting that the tsnB function affects a step in the late phase of T7 DNA replication. Mutants of T7 were isolated (T7beta) which could grow on tsnB(-) cells. In T7-infected tsnC(-) cells, T7 DNA synthesis was completely blocked, suggesting that the tsnC function affects a step in an early phase of T7 DNA replication.
分离出了大肠杆菌B/1的突变体,它们生长正常,但不允许噬菌体T7在细胞内生长。详细研究了两类突变体(tsnB(-)和tsnC(-))。这些菌株能正常吸附T7,并在感染后被杀死。感染后,T7 RNA以及早期和晚期T7蛋白的合成正常发生。在被T7感染的tsnB(-)细胞中,T7 DNA合成在开始后不久就过早停止,这表明tsnB功能影响T7 DNA复制后期的一个步骤。分离出了能在tsnB(-)细胞上生长的T7突变体(T7beta)。在被T7感染的tsnC(-)细胞中,T7 DNA合成被完全阻断,这表明tsnC功能影响T7 DNA复制早期的一个步骤。
