Abstract

The T3 phage enzymes S-adenosyl methionine cleaving enzyme and lysozyme and the T7 lysozyme were synthesized in a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)-dependent, cell-free system derived from uninfected Escherichia coli. The data presented suggest that these enzymes are encoded in that portion of the DNA which is transcribed early after infection.
