A DNA endonucleolytic activity that introduces single-stranded breaks into native T4 DNA is found in T4-infected E. coli. This endonuclease attacks other double-stranded, but not single-stranded, DNA. Experiments with ultraviolet-irradiated phages and amber mutants indicate that the enzyme is made beginning about five minutes after infection at 37 degrees C.
在受T4感染的大肠杆菌中发现了一种能在天然T4 DNA中引入单链断裂的DNA内切核酸酶活性。这种内切核酸酶能攻击其他双链DNA,但不能攻击单链DNA。用紫外线照射的噬菌体和琥珀突变体进行的实验表明,该酶在37摄氏度感染后约五分钟开始产生。
