RESUMO

The phenomenon of selective translation of T4 template RNA by ribosomes from T4-infected cells, or factors derived therefrom, has been extended to studies on the initiation of protein synthesis. A high-salt extract derived from T4-infected ribosomes inhibits the formation of initiation complexes of MS2 and Escherichia coli template RNA with uninfected ribosomes while efficiently supporting the formation of initiation complexes with T4 template RNA. T4 factors also permit T5 template RNA to bind to E. coli ribosomes, which indicates that the T4 selective effect is not exclusive for T4 templates. Other evidence indicates that T4 factors do not alter the process of polypeptide chain elongation.
