Resum
We have characterized three temperate bacteriophages of pneumococcus (HB-3, HB-623, and HB-746). Although all the phages belong to the same family, the polypeptide composition of the virions and the DNA restriction endonuclease analysis of their DNAs revealed differences among the three phages. The genomes of these bacteriophages have been isolated as DNA-protein complexes. The protein is specifically associated with the two 5' termini of the DNA as shown by experiments carried out with exonucleases. The protein bound to the DNA in the three phages studied, iodinated in vitro with 125I, has a molecular weight of 23,000 as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Treatment of the complexes with chaotropic agents suggested that the protein is covalently bound to the 5' termini of the DNA. Comparative pulsed-field gel electrophoresis analysis and Southern hybridization of the SmaI restriction fragments of DNAs from one lysogenic bacteria and its parental strain revealed that the prophage genome was integrated in the host chromosome.
