Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The nucleotide sequence of this 11.5-kb "host-takeover module" appears to be designed for particularly efficient expression, and has additional conserved features which are not characteristic of their host counterparts and which may be important for competition with host genes for the cellular biosynthetic machinery.
Journal ArticleDOI
A cytotoxic early gene of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage SPO1.
Ping Wei,Charles R. Stewart +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that e3 is one of several genes involved in host Shutoff, that its function is dispensable both for host shutoff and for phage multiplication, and that its shutoff function is not entirely specific to host activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genes that protect against the host-killing activity of the E3 protein of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage SPO1.
Ping Wei,Charles R. Stewart +1 more
TL;DR: A cloned rpoB gene, specifying an apparently mutantRNA polymerase beta subunit, protected Escherichia coli against the cytocidal effects of the E3 protein of bacteriophage SPO1, suggesting that RNA polymerase is the primary cellular target of theE3 protein.
