Abstract excerpt
This study describes the isolation of second-site suppressors which correct for the defects associated with cold-sensitive (cs) prohead accessory proteins of bacteriophage phi X174. Five phenotypically different suppressors were isolated. Three of these suppressors confer novel temperature-sensitive (ts) phenotypes. They were unable to complement a ts mutation in gene F which encodes the major coat protein of the...
