Functional relationship between bacteriophages G4 and phi X174

Functional relationship between bacteriophages G4 and phi X174

W E Borrias et al. J Virol. 1979 Aug.

Abstract

Mutants of bacteriophage G4 were isolated and characterized, and their mutations were mapped. They constitute six different genes, namely, A, B, E, F, G, and H. The functional relationship with bacteriophage phi X174 was determined by complementation experiments using amber mutants of phi X and amber mutants of G4. Bacteriophage phi X was able to use the products of G4 genes E, F, G, and H. In bacteriophage G4, however, only the phi X gene H product was functional.
