RESUMO
Bacteriophage phi X174 viral strand DNA molecules shorter than genome length found late in the infectious cycle in Escherichia coli were 5' end labeled with 32P. Hybridization of the 32P-labeled molecules to restriction enzyme fragments of phi X replicative form DNA revealed an excess of phi X molecules whose 5' ends mapped in HaeIII fragments Z3 and Z4 in comparison with fragments Z1 and Z2. This suggests that initiation of phi X174 viral strand DNA synthesis may occur at internal sites on the complementary strand. There are several appropriately located sequences that might serve as n' (factor Y) recognition sequences and thereby facilitate discontinuous synthesis of the viral strand.
