摘要:Initiation of T4 late RNA synthesis has been achieved in an in vitro system prepared from Escherichia coli cells infected with wild-type or maturation-defective mutant T4 phage. The system uses a cellophane membrane as a mechanical support for concentrated cell lysates and for added streptolydigin-resistant RNA polymerases. Transcriptional activity and selectivity of added RNA polymerases are tested while endogenous RNA polymerase activity is inhibited by streptolydigin. T4-modified RNA polymerase is required for substantial stimulation of T4 late RNA synthesis.
