Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli mutants defective in peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase activity are unable to maintain bacteriophage lambda vegetative growth. Phage mutants, named bar, overcome the host limitation to support viral growth. Multicopy expression of lambda wild-type bar regions is deleterious to hydrolase-defective cells because it provokes arrest of protein synthesis. We noticed that the bar regions include minigenes whose...
