SELECTIVE TRANSLATION OF T4 TEMPLATE RNA BY RIBOSOMES FROM T4-INFECTED Escherichia coli

Wen-Tah Hsu 1,2, Samuel B Weiss 1,2
PMCID: PMC286168  PMID: 4904642

Abstract

The present studies indicate that T4 infection induces an alteration in host ribosomes which restricts the translation of host and other T4-unrelated template RNAs but permits normal translation of T4 RNA. A heat-labile factor has been isolated from T4-infected cell ribosomes which, when combined with normal cell ribosomes, confers upon the latter the property of selective T4 template RNA translation.
