RESUMO
The bacteriophage PRD1 is a lipid-bearing phage that infects a wide variety of gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium when they contain the appropriate plasmid. It contains a linear duplex DNA molecule that is covalently bound by its 5' ends to a terminal protein. We report here that the PRD1 genome contains a 111-base-pair terminal inverted repeat which does not bear homology to that of any known linear duplex DNAs with terminal proteins. We further report that its 3' termini are susceptible to enzymatic digestion by exonuclease III.
