Abstract
When Bacillus subtilis is infected by the uracil-containing DNA phage PBS2, the parental DNA labeled with radioactive uracil and cytosine remains acid insoluble. If the synthesis of the phage-induced uracil-DNA N-glycosidase inhibitor is prevented, the parental DNA is completely degraded to acid-soluble products beginning at about 6 min after infection. The host N-glycosidase probably initiates the degradation pathway, with nucleases being responsible for the remaining degradation of the DNA.Entities:
