Abstract excerpt
Gene 61.5 of bacteriophage T4 has a unique role in gene expression. When this gene is mutated, mRNAs of many late genes are rapidly degraded, resulting in late-gene silencing. Here, we characterize an extragenic suppressor, ssf5, of a gene 61.5 mutation. ssf5 was found to be an amber mutation in motA, which encodes a transcription activator for T4 middle genes. When this gene is mutated, both degradation and...
