Effect of an Escherichia coli traD (ts) Mutation on MS2 RNA Replication

Department of Molecular Biology, Institute of Microbiology, Hebrew University - Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem, Israel

We have continued our studies on the effect of high temperature (42 °C) on the development of RNA bacteriophage MS2 in the temperature-sensitive conjugational transfer-deficient mutant Escherichia coli JCFL39 carrying a traD (ts) mutation. At 42 °C, mutant cells permit the penetration and translation of phage MS2 RNA but do not permit MS2 RNA replication. We suggest a role for the traD (ts) mutation in MS2 RNA replication.

Keywords: RNA phages, RNA replication, phage MS2, E. coli membranes
