The ocr+ Gene Function of Bacteriophages T3 and T7 Counteracts the Salmonella typhimurium DNA Restriction Systems SA and SB

Abstract

In host cells containing the Salmonella typhimurium DNA restriction-modification systems SA+ and SB+, replication of the ocr+ bacteriophages T3 and T7 is not impaired. However, ocr (gene 0.3) mutants of these phages are susceptible to DNA restriction and modification by the SA+ and SB+ systems.
