A functional gene A product of phi X174 was found to be required at the stage of single-stranded DNA synthesis. A precursor complex that synthesizes single-stranded DNA (50S complex [Fujisawa and Hayashi, 1976]) was isolated from cells infected with wild-type or with temperature-sensitive gene A mutant phage. Proper cleavage of the single-stranded viral DNA did not occur in cells infected with the temperature-sensitive gene A mutant under restrictive conditions. This resulted in (i) accumulation of linear viral DNA molecules of 2 units in length in the 50S complex and (ii) cessation of elongation of viral-strand DNA after one complete cycle of single-stranded DNA synthesis.
发现φX174的功能性基因A产物在单链DNA合成阶段是必需的。从感染野生型或温度敏感型基因A突变噬菌体的细胞中分离出了合成单链DNA的前体复合物(50S复合物[藤泽和林,1976])。在限制条件下,感染温度敏感型基因A突变体的细胞中,单链病毒DNA未发生正确切割。这导致(i)50S复合物中积累长度为2个单位的线性病毒DNA分子,以及(ii)单链DNA合成一个完整循环后病毒链DNA延伸停止。
