    Radiation sensitivity of messenger RNA

    Messenger RNA function is inactivated by irradiation with ultraviolet light. A unit length mRNA (in bases) is 2–3 times more sensitive than a unit length of DNA (in base pairs) with respect to the inactivation...

    Early T7 gene expression

    The mode of transcription of early T7 genes starting from one promotor region and generating a unique polycistronic RNA species suggests the appearance of equimolar amounts of the monocistronic species after R...

    A virus-specified mechanism for the prevention of multiple infection—T7- and T3-mutual and superinfection exclusion

    Co-and superinfection of cells with T3/T7 result in exclusion (mutual or superinfection exclusion). The exclusion mechanism is also directed against homologous (or identical) virus. Exclusion is established af...

    E. coli membranes become permeable to ions following T7-virus-infection

    Infection of E. coli with the viruses T7 or T3 leads to a dramatic efflux of potassium ions. This ion efflux is caused by the virus particle since no concomitant protein synthesis is required. T7 mutants carrying...
