Rescue of First-Step-Transfer Amber Mutants by “Second-Step-Transfer-Blocked” Bacteriophage T5 on an su Strain

Christian Hulen 1, Jean Legault-Demare 1
PMCID: PMC256665  PMID: 7033563

Abstract

T5 st0 phages irreversibly blocked in the injection of their second-step-transfer DNA can produce active A1 and A2 proteins which complement first-step-transfer amber mutants infecting an su strain.
