Site- and Gene-specific Limited Heterocatalytic Expression in Bacteriophage T4-infected <i>Escherichia coli</i>

Genetic evidence for site- and gene-specific variation in limited heterocatalytic expression in phage T4-infected Escherichia coli is reported, and the implications of such variation are discussed. </jats:p

Host DNA Degradation after Infection of <i>Escherichia coli</i> with Bacteriophage T4: Dependence of the Alternate Pathway of Degradation Which Occurs in the Absence of Both T4 Endonuclease II and Nuclear Disruption on T4 Endonuclease IV

Escherichia coli cells infected with T4 phage which are deficient in both nuclear disruption and endonuclease II exhibit a pathway of host DNA degradation which does not occur in cells infected with phage deficient only in endonuclease II. This alternate pathway of host DNA degradation requires T4 endonuclease IV. </jats:p
