  • Title: Structure and function of the genome of coliphage T5. Transcription in vitro of the "nicked" and "nick-free" T5+ DNA.
    Author: Knopf K, Bujard H.
    Journal: Eur J Biochem; 1975 May 06; 53(2):371-85. PubMed ID: 1095368.
    Abstract:
    Purified T5+ DNA in nicked form and after repair of the specific single-strand interruptions with DNA ligase was used in transcription studies using Escherichia coli RNA polymerase (holoenzyme) in the presence and absence of E. coli termination protein rho. The transcriptional products were analyzed with respect to their size distribution and the sequences transcribed from the different templates. The results indicate that the single-strand breaks in the DNA of bacteriophage T5, though in genetically defined positions, do not have any specific effect on transcription in vitro. Furthermore, the E. coli rho protein, although it depresses net RNA synthesis and reduces the average molecular weight of the transcripts, seems to act in a non-specific way in this system.
