Abstract
Upon infection of its host Escherichia coli, satellite bacteriophage P4 can integrate its genome into the bacterial chromosome by Int-mediated site-specific recombination between the attP and the attB sites. The opposite event, excision, may either occur spontaneously or be induced by a superinfecting P2 helper phage. In this work, we demonstrate that the product of the P4 vis gene, a regulator of the P4 late promoters P(LL) and P(sid), is needed for prophage excision. This conclusion is supported by the following evidence: (i) P4 mutants carrying either a frameshift mutation or a deletion of the vis gene were unable to excise both spontaneously or upon P2 phage superinfection; (ii) expression of the Vis protein from a plasmid induced P4 prophage excision; (iii) excision depended on a functional integrase (Int) protein, thus suggesting that Vis is involved in the formation of the excision complex, rather than in the excision recombination event per se; (iv) Vis protein bound P4 DNA in the attP region at two distinct boxes (Box I and Box II), located between the int gene and the attP core region, and caused bending of the bound DNA. Furthermore, we mapped by primer extension the 5' end of the int transcript and found that ectopic expression of Vis reduced its signal intensity, suggesting that Vis is also involved in negative regulation of the int promoter.

Abstract
DNA primases are enzymes whose continual activity is required at the DNA replication fork. They catalyze the synthesis of short RNA molecules used as primers for DNA polymerases. Primers are synthesized from ribonucleoside triphosphates and are four to fifteen nucleotides long. Most DNA primases can be divided into two classes. The first class contains bacterial and bacteriophage enzymes found associated with replicative DNA helicases. These prokaryotic primases contain three distinct domains: an amino terminal domain with a zinc ribbon motif involved in binding template DNA, a middle RNA polymerase domain, and a carboxyl-terminal region that either is itself a DNA helicase or interacts with a DNA helicase. The second major primase class comprises heterodimeric eukaryotic primases that form a complex with DNA polymerase alpha and its accessory B subunit. The small eukaryotic primase subunit contains the active site for RNA synthesis, and its activity correlates with DNA replication during the cell cycle.

Abstract
DNA replication of phage-plasmid P4 proceeds bidirectionally from the ori1 site (previously named ori), but requires a second cis-acting region, crr. Replication depends on the product of the P4 alpha gene, a protein with primase and helicase activity, that binds both ori1 and crr. A negative regulator of P4 DNA replication, the Cnr protein, is required for copy number control of plasmid P4. Using a plasmid complementation test for replication, we found that two replicons, both dependent on the alpha gene product, coexist in P4. The first replicon is made by the cnr and alpha genes and the ori1 and crr sites. The second is limited to the alpha and crr region. Thus, in the absence of the ori1 region, replication can initiate at a different site. By deletion mapping, a cis-acting region, ori2, essential for replication of the alpha-crr replicon was mapped within a 270-bp fragment in the first half of the alpha gene. The ori2 site was found to be dispensable in a replicon that contains ori1. A construct that besides crr and alpha carries also the cnr gene was unable to replicate, suggesting that Cnr not only controls replication from ori1, but also silences ori2.

Abstract
Bacteriophage P4 DNA replication depends on the product of the alpha gene, which has origin recognition ability, DNA helicase activity, and DNA primase activity. One temperature-sensitive and four amber mutations that eliminate DNA replication in vivo were sequenced and located in the alpha gene. Sequence analysis of the entire gene predicted a domain structure for the alpha polypeptide chain (777 amino acid residues, M(r) 84,900), with the N terminus providing the catalytic activity for the primase and the middle part providing that for the helicase/nucleoside triphosphatase. This model was confirmed experimentally in vivo and in vitro. In addition, the ori DNA recognition ability was found to be associated with the C-terminal third of the alpha polypeptide chain. The type A nucleotide-binding site is required for P4 replication in vivo, as shown for alpha mutations at G-506 and K-507. In the absence of an active DnaG protein, the primase function is also essential for P4 replication. Primase-null and helicase-null mutants retain the two remaining activities functionally in vitro and in vivo. The latter was demonstrated by trans complementation studies, indicating the assembly of active P4 replisomes by a primase-null and a helicase-null mutant.

Abstract
Prophage P4 immunity is elicited by a short, 69-nucleotide RNA (CI RNA) coded for within the untranslated leader region of the same operon it controls. CI RNA causes termination of transcription that starts at the promoter PLE and prevents the expression of the distal part of the operon that codes for P4 replication functions (alpha operon). In this work, we identify two sequences in the untranslated leader region of the alpha operon, seqA and seqC, that are the targets of the P4 immunity factor. seqA and seqC exhibit complementarity to a sequence internal to the CI RNA (seqB). Mutations in either seqA or seqC that alter its complementarity to seqB abolished or reduced P4 lysogenization proficiency and delayed the shutoff of the long transcripts originating from PLE that cover the entire operon. Both seqA and seqC single mutants were still sensitive to P4 prophage immunity, whereas P4 seqA seqC double mutants showed a virulent phenotype. Thus, both functional sites are necessary to establish immunity upon infection, whereas a single site appears to be sufficient to prevent lytic gene expression when immunity is established. A mutation in seqB that restored complementarity to both seqA and seqC mutations also restored premature termination of PLE transcripts, thus suggesting an important role for RNA-RNA interactions between seqB and seqA or seqC in P4 immunity.

Abstract
Temperate coliphage P2 and satellite phage P4 have icosahedral capsids and contractile tails with side tail fibers. Because P4 requires all the capsid, tail, and lysis genes (late genes) of P2, the genomes of these phages are in constant communication during P4 development. The P4 genome (11,624 bp) and the P2 genome (33.8 kb) share homologous cos sites of 55 bp which are essential for generating 19-bp cohesive ends but are otherwise dissimilar. P4 turns on the expression of helper phage late genes by two mechanisms: derepression of P2 prophage and transactivation of P2 late-gene promoters. P4 also exploits the morphopoietic pathway of P2 by controlling the capsid size to fit its smaller genome. The P4 sid gene product is responsible for capsid size determination, and the P2 capsid gene product, gpN, is used to build both sizes. The P2 capsid contains 420 capsid protein subunits, and P4 contains 240 subunits. The size reduction appears to involve a major change of the whole hexamer complex. The P4 particles are less stable to heat inactivation, unless their capsids are coated with a P4-encoded decoration protein (the psu gene product). P4 uses a small RNA molecule as its immunity factor. Expression of P4 replication functions is prevented by premature transcription termination effected by this small RNA molecule, which contains a sequence that is complementary to a sequence in the transcript that it terminates.

Abstract
In the prophage P4, expression of the early genes is prevented by premature termination of transcription from the constitutive promoter PLE. In order to identify the region coding for the immunity determinant, we cloned several fragments of P4 DNA and tested their ability to confer immunity to P4 superinfection. A 357 bp long fragment (P4 8418-8774) is sufficient to confer immunity to an infecting P4 phage and to complement the immunity-defective P4 cl405 mutant, both in the presence and in the absence of the helper phage P2. The immunity region covers PLE and the cl locus. We were unable to obtain evidence of translation of the region, thus we suggest that P4 immunity is not elicited by a protein but by a transcript (or transcripts) encoded by the region downstream of the promoter PLE. The promoter PLE appears to be necessary for the expression of P4 immunity: fragments in which the PLE region is deleted did not complement P4 cl405 for lysogenization, although they still interfered with P4 growth. Two complementary sequences downstream of PLE (seqA and seqB) at the 5' and 3' ends of the immunity region play an essential role in the control of P4 immunity.

Abstract
Some strains of Escherichia coli contain retroelements (retrons) that encode genes for reverse transcriptase and branched, multicopy, single-stranded DNA (msDNA) linked to RNA. However, the origin of retrons is unknown. A P4-like cryptic prophage was found that contains a retroelement (retron Ec73) for msDNA-Ec73 in an E. coli clinical strain. The entire genome of this prophage, named phi R73, is 12.7 kilobase pairs and is flanked by 29-base pair direct repeats derived from the 3' end of the selenocystyl transfer RNA gene (selC). P2 bacteriophage caused excision of the phi R73 prophage and acted as a helper to package phi R73 DNA into an infectious virion. The newly formed phi R73 closely resembled P4 as a virion and in its lytic growth. Retronphage phi R73 lysogenized a new host strain, reintegrating its genome into the selC gene of the host chromosome and enabling the newly formed lysogens to produce msDNA-Ec73. Hence, retron Ec73 can be transferred intercellularly as part of the genome of a helper-dependent retronphage.

Abstract
Satellite bacteriophage P4 requires the products of the late genes of a helper such as P2 in order to grow lytically. The Escherichia coli rpoA109 mutation, which alters the alpha subunit of RNA polymerase, prevents transcription of the late genes of bacteriophage P2. Suppressor mutations that define the P2 ogr gene overcome this block. We found that P4 lytic growth using a P2 ogr+ prophage helper was prevented by the rpoA109 mutation but that this block was overcome when the P2 helper carried the suppressor mutation in the ogr gene. Furthermore, we isolated and characterized four independent mutations in P4, called org, that suppress the E. coli rpoA109 mutation by allowing P4 lytic growth using a P2 ogr+ helper. DNA sequence analysis revealed that the four independent org mutations are identical and that they occur in the P4 delta gene, which codes for a factor that positively regulates the transcription of the P2 and P4 late genes. delta is predicted to code for a basic 166-amino-acid residue protein. Each 83-residue half of the predicted delta gene product is similar to the predicted 72-residue proteins encoded by the ogr gene of P2 and the B gene of phage 186.

Abstract
Phasmid (phage plasmid hybrid) P4 vir1 can be propagated in Escherichia coli as a helper-dependent lytic phage, as a plasmid, or as a prophage. On the basis of an understanding of these modes of propagation, derivatives of P4 have been constructed for use as cloning vectors. In this report we demonstrate that phasmid P4 (i) will propagate as a helper-dependent lytic phage and as a plasmid in Salmonella spp. and (ii) can be used as a high efficiency phage shuttle vector for the reversible transfer of cloned genes between Salmonella spp. and E. coli. For both E. coli and Salmonella spp., P4 phage-mediated gene transfer proved to be only 10-fold lower than plaquing efficiency. For the case of Salmonella spp., this frequency is ca. 10(4)-fold more efficient than is typically found for the transformation of DNA molecules. The usefulness of this cloning vector system for analyses of pathogenic virulence factors is demonstrated by the cloning and expression of both the P pilus adhesin operon and the hemolysin operon of uropathogenic E. coli.

Abstract
We sequenced the leftmost 2,640 base pairs of bacteriophage P4 DNA, thus completing the sequence of the 11,627-base-pair P4 genome. The newly sequenced region encodes three nonessential genes, which are called gop, beta, and cII (in order, from left to right). The gop gene product kills Escherichia coli when the beta protein is absent; the gop and beta genes are transcribed rightward from the same promoter. The cII gene is transcribed leftward to a rho-independent terminator. Mutation of this terminator creates a temperature-sensitive phenotype, presumably owing to a defect in expression of the beta gene.

Abstract
Infection of Escherichia coli with the satellite virus P4 without its helper bacteriophage P2 leads either to the immune integrated state or to the nonimmune multicopy plasmid condition. We analyzed the transcription pattern of the phage plasmid P4 early and late after infection and during the stable plasmid or lysogenic condition. The early postinfection phase is characterized by the leftward transcription of an operon including the genes cI (P4 immunity) and alpha (replication). This early transcript starts from the promoter PLE, which shows a good homology with the E. coli sigma 70 promoter. At later times, the transcription of this operon starts from a different promoter, PLL, located 400 base pairs upstream of PLE, and sharing little homology with the canonical E. coli promoter sequence; a longer transcript encoding an additional open reading frame is thus produced. PLL shares two boxes of homology with the P4 late promoter PSID, positively regulated by the P4 delta gene product, and depends on delta function for its full activation. In the multicopy plasmid state, the transcription pattern is similar to that observed at late times after infection. Since in the plasmid state not only is P4 immunity not expressed but its establishment is prevented, even though the P4 cI gene is transcribed, the P4 cI function may be regulated at the posttranscriptional level. In the immune state, transcription starts from PLE but does not continue to cover the P4 alpha gene. This suggests that P4 immunity acts by prematurely terminating transcription initiated at PLE.

Abstract
The satellite bacteriophage P4 genes for capsid size determination (sid), transactivation (delta), and polarity suppression (psu) are cotranscribed at late times after infection from a single P4 late promoter (Psid) that lies to the left of the sid gene. While the -10 region of this promoter is similar to the consensus sequence for Escherichia coli RNA polymerase, the -35 region shares no homology with known classes of E. coli promoters. The -10 and -35 regions of Psid share no homology with the late gene promoters of helper phage P2. Nonetheless, P4 late transcription is stimulated by coinfecting P2, as well as by P2 prophage. This stimulation depends on the P2 encoded transcription factor ogr; transcription from Psid is stimulated following the induction of the P2 ogr gene carried on a plasmid. P4 late transcription in the absence of P2 requires the P4 delta product, which is partially homologous to the P2 ogr gene product. DNA sequence analysis shows that the psu gene codes for a protein of Mr = 21,314 that is unrelated to the antitermination gene products of the lambdoid phages.

Abstract
The psu gene product of "phasmid" (phage-plasmid) P4 acts as a transcription antitermination factor in trans and in cis, respectively, within the morphogenic operons of its P2 phage helper during lytic viral development and on P4 itself during the establishment stage of its alternative mode of propagation as a plasmid. Here we show that psu also antagonizes activity of the Escherichia coli transcription termination factor rho at the terminator of the trp operon. Such a finding provides to our knowledge the first direct evidence for antitermination activity at a known rho-dependent site by the psu gene product. It also reveals an example of an extrachromosomal gene product that acts on specific sites of three different genomes to regulate expression of unlinked families of genes.

Abstract
A soluble enzyme system has been prepared from a phage P4-infected Escherichia coli strain that supports the replication of exogenous, supercoiled P4 DNA. This DNA synthesis in vitro depends upon the four deoxyribonucleotides and ATP, but is enhanced about four- to fivefold by the presence of other ribonucleotides. E. coli DNA polymerase III holoenzyme, the E. coli single-strand DNA binding protein, and the partially purified P4 alpha gene product are required for replication in vitro. Rifamycin does not inhibit P4 replication in vitro. Since the P4 alpha gene codes for a rifamycin-resistant RNA polymerase (Barrett et al., 1983), and since P4 DNA replication is independent of the host primase (Bowden et al., 1975), we believe the alpha gene product is functioning as a P4-specific DNA primase.

Abstract
Nucleotide sequence of one-third of the genome of coliphage P4 has been obtained and mutations virl, epsilon am104, cI405, sidl, and delta 35 identified. The epsilon gene likely encodes a 10 kd protein with epsilon am104 being located at the beginning of the gene. cI405, a proposed repressor gene mutation, is located in a sequence capable of coding for a 15 kd protein. A new class of P4 mutations, ash, is located in the neighborhood of cI405. Two TATA-like sequences are mapped 5' to this cI (ash) sequence. Virl is possibly a promoter-up mutation and is located near or within the replication origin, which is about 400 bp long and AT rich. A sidl mutation is amber that shortens the sid protein by 9 amino acids. The delta gene may encode a 17 kd protein and appears to be coupled with the sid gene translationally. In the 5' side of the sid gene a sequence of CACAAT is the best TATA-like sequence. Sequences of two possible genes that are previously unrecognized and part of the alpha and psu genes are also identified.

Abstract
"Phasmid" P4 is unusual in that it is capable of (i) temperate, (ii) lytic, helper-dependent, and (iii) plasmid modes of propagation. In this report we characterize most of the known P4 genetic functions as to their essential or nonessential roles in the stable maintenance of plasmid P4 vir1 (pP4 vir1 (pP4 vir1). We also identify growth conditions that can be used to stably maintain pP4 vir1 at any one of several different copy number levels (n = 1 to 3, n = 10 to 15, or n = 30 to 40). Analyses of a temperature-sensitive alpha derivative of pP4 vir1 show that shifting the temperature from 37 to 42 degrees C allows this mutant to maintain an integrated copy of the plasmid, whereas replication of free copies is repressed because of the nonpermissive condition for their DNA synthesis. Conversely, a shift from 42 to 37 degrees C can be used to reinstate plasmid propagation. The utility of the inducible states of pP4 vir1 is discussed with respect to its attributes as a vector with the potential for cloning inserts of DNA up to 33,000 base pairs in a wide range of bacterial hosts.

Abstract
The gene old of bacteriophage P2 is known to (i) cause interference with phage lambda growth; (ii) kill recB- mutants of Escherichia coli after P2 infection; and (iii) determine increased sensitivity of P2 lysogenic cells to X-ray irradiation. In all of these phenomena, inhibition of protein synthesis occurs. We have isolated bacterial mutants, named pin (P2 interference), able to suppress all of the above-mentioned phenomena caused by the old+ gene product and the concurrent protein synthesis inhibition. Pin mutations are recessive, map at 12 min on the E. coli map, and identify a new gene. Satellite bacteriophage P4 does not plate on pin-3 mutant strains and causes cell lethality and protein synthesis inhibition in such mutants. P4 mutants able to grow on pin-3 strains have been isolated.

Abstract
Two temperature-sensitive mutants of satellite phage P4 which do not synthesize P4 DNA at the nonpermissive temperature have been isolated. One of these phage is mutated in the P4 alpha gene. It complements a P4 delta mutant, but not a P4 alpha amber mutant; both mutants are phenotypically identical to alpha amber mutants in all properties studied. They synthesize P4 early proteins 1 and 2 as well as two additional P4-induced early proteins, 5 and 6, which are described here. P4 late proteins are not synthesized by these mutants and cannot be transactivated by helper phage P2. The mutants are unable to transactivate P2 late proteins from a P2 AB mutant. The P4 RNA polymerase activity which has been suggested to be involved in P4 DNA synthesis is not detected at the nonpermissive temperature. The P4 polymerase activity in partially purified extracts prepared from cells infected with the mutant at the permissive temperature is temperature sensitive. Reduced activity is found in vitro when these extracts are preincubated at 41 degrees C or assayed at temperatures higher than 37 degrees C. Thus, the P4 RNA polymerase is the product of the alpha gene. Temperature shift experiments show that the alpha gene product is required until late in the P4 cycle.

Abstract
We have used a cell-free, DNA-dependent protein-synthesizing system to study the stimulation of phage P2 late gene expression by satellite phage P4. An activity is present in extracts prepared from P4-infected cells, which, when added to the in vitro system with P2 DNA template, stimulates the synthesis of a number of P2 proteins. These stimulated proteins include the major P2 capsid protein (N gene product) and a major component of the P2 phage tail (FII gene product). Extracts prepared from P4-infected cells are also able to stimulate the synthesis from P4 DNA of two low-molecular-weight proteins (18,500 and 17,000 Mr). The stimulating activity has no effect on the synthesis of proteins from lambda plac5 template. Extracts prepared from cells infected with P4 alpha amber mutants lack this stimulating activity.

Abstract
Replicative intermediates isolated from Escherichia coli cells infected with P2 gene B mutants were circular DNA molecules with single-stranded DNA tails, as opposed to the double-stranded DNA tails of wild-type replicative intermediates. The results show that the mutant replicative intermediates arose from aberrant DNA replication, aberrant due to a lack of lagging strand DNA synthesis, but with normal leading strand synthesis, so that only one circular duplex daughter DNA molecule was made from each duplex parent molecule. The single-stranded tails were shown to correspond to the nicked (and therefore displaced) parental DNA "l" strands. By partial denaturation mapping, the ends of the single-stranded tails tended to map close to the replication origin, but not all at a unique position, probably due to partial degradation or breakage in vivo, or during cell lysis or DNA isolation. By hybridization to separated strands of P2 DNA on nitrocellulose filters, DNA synthesis was shown to be asymmetric, and consistent with more leading strand than lagging strand synthesis having occurred. We concluded that the gene B protein is required for lagging strand DNA synthesis, but not for initiation, elongation or termination of the leading strand.

Abstract
A genetic map of satellite bacteriophage P4 has been constructed by means of standard multifactor crosses. The genetic map appears to be a circular permutation of the mature DNA physical map. In addition, a set of markers appear to be linked both to the left and to the right of the same gene alpha. These facts suggest that the P4 genetic map is circular. Since terminal redundancy and/or cyclic permutation are not known to be present in P4 mature DNA, the circularity of P4 genetic map may reflect the physical circularity of the molecules involved in the recombination process. The low frequency of recombination and the strong negative interference observed are in agreement with the above hypothesis.

Abstract
Satellite phage P4 has two known options for propagation. In its lytic cycle, its regulatory functions can act in trans to alter the actions of a helper virus (P2), which then provides necessary gene products, including capsid proteins. P4 also can be propagated in the absence of a helper as a prophage, with distinct sites for integration within the Escherichia coli chromosome. We determined that a single spontaneous mutation (vir1) of phage P4 allows a third mode of propagation: as a plasmid (along with continued integration into the host chromosome). Hence, the P4 regulatory element is capable of (i) temperate; (ii) lytic, helper-dependent; and (iii) plasmid modes of development. These findings emphasize the close relationship between defective viruses and plasmids.

Abstract
We demonstrate the use of bacteriophage P4 as a molecular cloning vector in Klebsiella pneumoniae. A hybrid P4 phage, constructed in vitro, that contains a K. pneumoniae hisDG DNA fragment can be propagated either as a lytic viable specialized transducing phage or as an autonomous, self-replicating plasmid. Hybrid P4 genomes existing as plasmids can be readily converted into non-defective P4-hybrid phage particles by superinfection with helper phage P2. Infection of a K. pneumoniae hisD non-P2 lysogen with P4-hisD hybrid phage results in approximately 90% of the infected cells becoming stably transduced to HisD+. Because P4 interferes with P2 growth, high titre stocks of P4 hybrid phages are relatively free (less than or equal to 10(-6) of P2 contamination. The hisG gene product was detected in ultraviolet light irradiated host cells infected by the P4-hisDG hybrid phage. A mutant of P4 (P4sid1) that directs the packaging of P4 DNA into P2 sized capsids should permit the construction of hybrid phages carrying 26 kilobase inserts.

Abstract
Through in vitro recombination of DNA restriction fragments, we have constructed a plasmid, which expressed in vivo the immunity repressor gene (C) of bacteriophage P2. A bacterial strain carrying such a plasmid showed a high level of P2 specific immunity. It was lysogenized normally by an infecting P2, but the frequency of spontaneous phage production was reduced about 10(4) fold as compared to a normal P2 lysogen. Satellite phage P4, known to derepress P2 lysogens, was unable to derepress the plasmid-carrying lysogenic strain so to allow growth of coinfecting P2. Phage P4 multiplied on the plasmid-carrying, P2-lysogenic strain, but due to a prolonged latent period failed to form plaques on this strain.

Abstract
A set of plasmids that contain fragments of the bacteriophage P4 genome has been constructed by deleting portions of a P4-ColE1 hybrid. A P4 genetic map has been established and related to the physical map by examining the ability of these plasmids to rescue various P4 mutations. The P4 virl mutation and P4 genes involved in DNA replication (alpha), activation of P2 helper genes (delta and epsilon), polarity suppression (psu) and head size determination (sid) have been mapped, as has the region responsible for synthesis of a nonessential P4 protein. One of the deleted plasmids contains only 5900 base pairs (52%) of P4 but will form plaques if additional DNA is added to increase its total size to near that of P4. This plasmid is also unique in that it will not form stable associations with P2 lysogens of E. coli which are recA+. P4 alpha mutants can be suppressed as a result of replication under control of the ColE1 part of the hybrid.

Abstract
Escherichia coli C strains containing different deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis mutations have been tested for their support of the DNA synthesis of bacteriophage P2 and its satellite phage P4. Bacteriophage P2 requires functional dnaB, dnaE, and dnaG E. coli gene products for DNA synthesis, whereas it does not require the products of the dnaA, dnaC, or dnaH genes. In contrast, the satellite virus P4 requires functional dnaE and dnaH gene products for DNA synthesis and does not need the products of the dnaA, dnaB, dnaC, and dnaG genes. Thus the P2 and P4 genomes are replicated differently, even though they are packaged in heads made of the same protein.

Abstract
The DNA of helper-dependent coliphage P4 and the DNA of its helper-P2-show no detectable sequence homology as measured by DNA.DNA hybridization. The lack of cross-hybridization permits direct analysis of P4 as well as of P2 transcription in P4-infected P2 lysogens by RNA.DNA hybridization. P4-transactivated P2 transcription can be detected around 20 min after P4 infection of the P2 lysogen and the rate (per infected cell) of that transcription becomes equal to that of the P4 transcription at the end of the latent period of P4. Furthermore, P4 transcription appears to be stimulated by the presence of the helper. Conceivably, P2 codes for a stimulator of P4 transcription. Rifamycin has been used to investigate the role of the host RNA polymerase during P4 transactivation of P2 transcription. The results exclude the participation of a P4-coded RNA polymerase and indicate that the original host RNA polymerase is responsible for the bulk of P4 and P2 transcription during transactivation.

Abstract
Satellite phage P4 directs the capsid proteins of its helper phage, P2, to form a head which is only one-third the size of the normal P2 head. The P2 head contains a genome of molecular weight 22 x 10(6), while the small P4 head contains a genome with a molecular weight of only 7 x 10(6). We have used in vitro DNA packaging to test whether P2 and P4 phage head sizes are determined by DNA size. The small DNA of satellite phage P4 added to a P2-infected cell extract was packaged primarily into particles containing three copies of the P4 genome. This process occurred with approximately the same efficiency as P2 DNA packaging in the same cell extract. In contrast, the large DNA of P2 was packaged 300-fold less efficiently than the small DNA of P4 in an extract derived from P4-infected, P2-lysogenic cells. These results suggest that DNA size is not sufficient to determine head size. The results are compatible with DNA packaging via the filling of preformed empty capsids.
