SP01 gene 27 is required for viral late transcription.

Abstract

The SP01 mutant sus HA20 (gene 27) was found to be defective for synthesis of viral late RNA. It is known that gene 27 is also required for viral DNA replication. The SP01 gene 27 product resembles the T4 gene 45 product, which also has a dual role in viral DNA replication and late transcription.
