Abstract excerpt
The lysis gene E of bacteriophage phi X174 is entirely embedded in gene D. Expression studies of genes D and E in Escherichia coli minicells and lysis times obtained in the presence or absence of D translation showed that the simultaneous expression of gene D does not affect protein E production. Thus, unlike other overlapping gene pairs, gene E expression is independent from the upstream translation of gene D....
