| Abstract | The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) of Escherichia coli B is converted by colicin E2 to products soluble in cold trichloroacetic acid; we show that this DNA degradation (hereafter termed solubilization) is subject to inhibition by infection with bacteriophage T4. At least two modes of inhibition may be differentiated on the basis of their sensitivity to chloramphenicol. The following observations on the inhibition of E2 by phage T4 in the absence of chloramphenicol are described: (i) Simultaneous addition to E. coli B of E2 and a phage mutated in genes 42, 46, and 47 results in a virtually complete block of the DNA solubilization normally induced by E2; the mutation in gene 42 prevents phage DNA synthesis, and the mutations in genes 46 and 47 block a late stage of phage-induced solubilization of host DNA. (ii) This triple mutant inhibits equally well when added at any time during the E2-induced solubilization. (iii) Simultaneous addition to E. coli B of E2 and a phage mutated only in gene 42 results in extensive DNA solubilization, but the amount of residual acid-insoluble DNA (20 to 25%) is more characteristic of phage infection than of E2 addition (5% or less). (iv) denA mutants of phage T4 are blocked in an early stage (endonuclease II) of degradation of host DNA; when E2 and a phage mutated in both genes 42 and denA are added to E. coli B, extensive solubilization of DNA occurs with a pattern identical to that observed upon simultaneous addition of E2 and the gene 42 mutant. (v) However, delaying E2 addition for 10 min after infection by this double mutant allows the phage to develop considerable inhibition of E2. (vi) Adsorption of E2 to E. coli B is not impaired by infection with phage mutated in genes 42, 46, and 47. In the presence of chloramphenicol, the inhibition of E2 by the triple-mutant (genes 42, 46, and 47) still occurs, but to a lesser extent. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
