Effect of a gene-specific suppressor mutation (das) on DNA synthesis of gene 46-47 mutants of bacteriophage T4D.

D B Shah, H Berger.   

Abstract

Mutants in genes 46 and 47 of bacteriophage T4 exhibit early cessation of DNA synthesis, inability to form a normal rapidly sedimenting DNA intermediate (200S), reduced genetic recombination, and reduced viable phage production. A gene-specific suppressor mutation called das partially restores many of the pleiotropic effects of gene 46-47 mutants (13). Our results indicate that this partial suppression by das is associated with (i) the synthesis of a small fraction of DNA containing long single chains not detectable in 46-47 infection and (ii) a decrease in an "early" function which participates in the degradation of DNA synthesized in the absence of 46-47 functions. However, das does not restore the formation of a normal rapidly sedimenting (200S) DNA intermediate.
