Abstract
The N-terminal region (region 1.1) of sigma70, the primary sigma subunit of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase, is a negatively charged domain that affects the DNA binding properties of sigma70 regions 2 and 4. Region 1.1 prevents the interaction of free sigma70 with DNA and modulates the formation of stable (open) polymerase/promoter complexes at certain promoters. The bacteriophage T4 AsiA protein is an inhibitor of sigma70-dependent transcription from promoters that require an interaction between sigma70 region 4 and the -35 DNA element and is the coactivator of transcription at T4 MotA-dependent promoters. Like AsiA, the T4 activator MotA also interacts with sigma70 region 4. We have investigated the effect of region 1.1 on AsiA inhibition and MotA/AsiA activation. We show that sigma70 region 1.1 is not required for MotA/AsiA activation at the T4 middle promoter P(uvsX). However, the rate of AsiA inhibition and of MotA/AsiA activation of polymerase is significantly increased when region 1.1 is missing. We also find that RNA polymerase reconstituted with sigma70 that lacks region 1.1 is less stable than polymerase with full-length sigma70. Our previous work has demonstrated that the AsiA-inhibited polymerase is formed when AsiA binds to region 4 of free sigma70 and then the AsiA/sigma70 complex binds to core. Our results suggest that in the absence of region 1.1, there is a shift in the dynamic equilibrium between polymerase holoenzyme and free sigma70 plus core, yielding more free sigma70 at any given time. Thus, the rate of AsiA inhibition and AsiA/MotA activation increases when RNA polymerase lacks region 1.1 because of the increased availability of free sigma70. Previous work has argued both for and against a direct interaction between regions 1.1 and 4. Using an E. coli two-hybrid assay, we do not detect an interaction between these regions. This result supports the idea that the ability of region 1.1 to prevent DNA binding by free sigma70 arises through an indirect effect.

Abstract
A reconstituted in vitro bacteriophage T4 DNA replication system was studied on a synthetic 70-mer minicircle substrate. This substrate was designed so that dGMP and dCMP were exclusively incorporated into the leading and the lagging strand, respectively. This design allows the simultaneous and independent measurement of the leading and lagging strand synthesis. In this paper, we report our results on the characterization of the 70-mer minicircle substrate. We show here that the minicircle substrate supports coordinated leading and lagging strand synthesis under the experimental conditions employed. The rate of the leading strand fork movement was at an average of approximately 150 nucleotides/s. This rate decreased to less than 30 nucleotides/s when the helicase was omitted from the reaction. These results suggest that both the holoenzyme and the primosome can be simultaneously assembled onto the minicircle substrate. The lagging strand synthesized on this substrate is of an average of 1.5 kb, and the length of the Okazaki fragments increased with decreasing [rNTPs]. The proper response of the Okazaki fragment size toward the change of the priming signal further indicates a functional replisome assembled on the minicircle template. The effects of various protein components on the leading and lagging strand synthesis were also studied. The collective results indicate that coordinated strand synthesis only takes place within certain protein concentration ranges. The optimal protein levels of the proteins that constitute the T4 replisome generally bracket the concentrations of the same proteins in vivo. Omission of the primase has little effect on the rate of dNMP incorporation or the rate of the fork movement on the leading strand within the first 30 s of the reaction. This inhibition only becomes significant at later times of the reaction and may be associated with the accumulation of single-stranded DNA leading to the collapse of active replisomes.

Abstract
Phage T4 has provided countless contributions to the paradigms of genetics and biochemistry. Its complete genome sequence of 168,903 bp encodes about 300 gene products. T4 biology and its genomic sequence provide the best-understood model for modern functional genomics and proteomics. Variations on gene expression, including overlapping genes, internal translation initiation, spliced genes, translational bypassing, and RNA processing, alert us to the caveats of purely computational methods. The T4 transcriptional pattern reflects its dependence on the host RNA polymerase and the use of phage-encoded proteins that sequentially modify RNA polymerase; transcriptional activator proteins, a phage sigma factor, anti-sigma, and sigma decoy proteins also act to specify early, middle, and late promoter recognition. Posttranscriptional controls by T4 provide excellent systems for the study of RNA-dependent processes, particularly at the structural level. The redundancy of DNA replication and recombination systems of T4 reveals how phage and other genomes are stably replicated and repaired in different environments, providing insight into genome evolution and adaptations to new hosts and growth environments. Moreover, genomic sequence analysis has provided new insights into tail fiber variation, lysis, gene duplications, and membrane localization of proteins, while high-resolution structural determination of the "cell-puncturing device," combined with the three-dimensional image reconstruction of the baseplate, has revealed the mechanism of penetration during infection. Despite these advances, nearly 130 potential T4 genes remain uncharacterized. Current phage-sequencing initiatives are now revealing the similarities and differences among members of the T4 family, including those that infect bacteria other than Escherichia coli. T4 functional genomics will aid in the interpretation of these newly sequenced T4-related genomes and in broadening our understanding of the complex evolution and ecology of phages-the most abundant and among the most ancient biological entities on Earth.

Abstract
The bacteriophage T4 replication complex is composed of eight proteins that function together to replicate DNA. This replisome can be broken down into four basic units: a primosome composed of gp41, gp61, and gp59; a leading strand holoenzyme composed of gp43, gp44/62, and gp45; a lagging strand holoenzyme; and a single strand binding protein polymer. These units interact further to form the complete replisome. The leading and lagging strand polymerases are physically linked in the presence of DNA or an active replisome. The region of interaction was mapped to an extension of the finger domain, such that Cys-507 of one subunit is in close proximity to Cys-507 of a second subunit. The leading strand polymerase and the primosome also associate, such that gp59 mediates the contact between the two complexes. Binding of gp43 to the primosome complex causes displacement of gp32 from the gp59.gp61.gp41 primosome complex. The resultant species is a complex of proteins that may allow coordinated leading and lagging strand synthesis, helicase DNA unwinding activity, and polymerase nucleotide incorporation.

Abstract
The DNA replication complex of bacteriophage T4 has been assembled as a single unit on a minicircle substrate with a replication fork that permits an independent measurement of the amount of DNA synthesis on both the leading and lagging strands. The assembled replisome consists of the T4 polymerase [gene product 43 (gp43)], clamp protein (gp45), clamp loader (gp44/62), helicase (gp41), helicase accessory factor (gp59), primase (gp61), and single-stranded DNA binding protein (gp32). We demonstrate that on the minicircle the synthesis of the leading and lagging strands are coordinated and that the C-terminal domain of the gp32 protein regulates this coordination. We show that the reconstituted replisome encompasses two coupled holoenzyme complexes and present evidence that this coupling might include a gp43 homodimer interaction.

Abstract
One primase (gp61) and six helicase (gp41) subunits interact to form the bacteriophage T4-coded primosome at the DNA replication fork. In order to map some of the detailed interactions of the primase within the primosome, we have constructed and characterized variants of the gp61 primase that carry kinase tags at either the N or the C terminus of the polypeptide chain. These tagged gp61 constructs have been probed using several analytical methods. Proteolytic digestion and protein kinase protection experiments show that specific interactions with single-stranded DNA and the T4 helicase hexamer significantly protect both the N- and the C-terminal regions of the T4 primase polypeptide chain against modification by these procedures and that this protection becomes more pronounced when the primase is assembled within the complete ternary primosome complex. Additional discrete sites of both protection and apparent hypersensitivity along the gp61 polypeptide chain have also been mapped by proteolytic footprinting reactions for the binary helicase-primase complex and in the three component primosome. These studies provide a detailed map of a number of gp61 contact positions within the primosome and reveal interactions that may be important in the structure and function of this central component of the T4 DNA replication complex.

Abstract
Gene 61.5 of bacteriophage T4 is required for gene expression at late stages of infection; a mutant of gene 61.5 shows a reduced rate of synthesis of late proteins and accumulates short transcripts upon infection of nonpermissive host cells at 30 degreesC (T. Kai, H. E. Sellick, and T. Yonesaki, Genetics 144, 7-14, 1996). Here we describe that, although the defects are only apparent at late stages, gene 61.5 is expressed early after infection and that the requirement of a functional gene 61.5 is partially compensated by the passage of early and middle stages of infection at high temperatures, suggesting that T4 genes expressed at early and middle stages bypass the requirement for the gene 61.5 at high temperatures. Furthermore, we isolated five pseudorevertants of a gene 61.5 mutant, designated as ssf1 through ssf5, which partially restored the growth ability at low temperatures, stabilized mRNAs, and stimulated protein synthesis at late stages. These results strongly suggest that the products of other T4 genes interact with the product of gene 61.5 in stabilizing mRNAs late in T4 infection.

Abstract
The bacteriophage T4 MotA protein is a transcriptional activator of T4-modified host RNA polymerase and is required for activation of the middle class of T4 promoters. MotA alone binds to the -30 region of T4 middle promoters, a region that contains the MotA box consensus sequence [(t/a)(t/a)TGCTT(t/c)A]. We report the isolation and characterization of a protein designated Mot21, in which the first 8 codons of the wild-type motA sequence have been replaced with 11 different codons. In gel retardation assays, Mot21 and MotA bind DNA containing the T4 middle promoter P(uvsX) similarly, and the proteins yield similar footprints on P(uvsX). However, Mot21 is severely defective in the activation of transcription. On native protein gels, a new protein species is seen after incubation of the sigma70 subunit of RNA polymerase and wild-type MotA protein, suggesting a direct protein-protein contact between MotA and sigma70. Mot21 fails to form this complex, suggesting that this interaction is necessary for transcriptional activation and that the Mot21 defect arises because Mot21 cannot form this contact like the wild-type activator.

Abstract
We have examined the formation of the primosome subassembly of the bacteriophage T4-coded DNA replication (elongation) complex from its helicase, primase, and DNA components. Previously, we had shown that the T4 helicase (gp41) exists in solution in a stable monomer left and right arrow dimer equilibrium at physiological protein (and salt) concentrations and forms a hexamer upon activation by ATP (or GTP) binding (Dong, F., Gogol, E. P., and von Hippel, P. H.(1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 7462-7473). Here we report that the T4 primase (gp61) is a monomer in solution under the same conditions, and that the ATP-activated helicase binds to a single gp61 primase molecule on appropriate DNA templates to reconstitute a stable primosome. We show that: (i) the gp41 helicase alone does not form a stable complex with DNA templates, although this helicase by itself can carry out moderately processive ATP-driven translocation along single-stranded DNA (Young, M. C., Schultz, D. E., Ring, D., and von Hippel, P. H.(1994) J. Mol. Biol. 235, 1447-1458); (ii) the primase alone does form a stable complex with DNA; (iii) the helicase can bind to the primase-DNA complex in the presence of ATP or GTP to form a stable ternary complex; (iv) this complex consists of six helicase subunits and one primase subunit; and (v) the reconstituted primosome is stable for at least 10 to 20 min after NTP cleavage and dissociation of the hydrolysis products. These results strongly suggest that the functional T4 DNA replication primosome consists of an integrated 6:1 helicase-primase complex bound to DNA, and that the ATP-activated helicase hexamer remains intact throughout the processive DNA replication process.

Abstract
Bacteriophage T4 middle promoters, which are transcribed using phage-modified host RNA polymerase and the T4 transcriptional activator, MotA, match the host sigma 70 consensus sequence at -10, but they have a different consensus ((t/a)(t/a)TGCTT(t/c)A) (a MotA box) at -30. While the T4 middle promoter PuvsX has these -10 and -30 motifs, it also has matches to the MotA box at -35, -51, -70, and -87. We show that MotA binds to PuvsX DNA, footprinting a region that includes the MotA boxes at -30, -35, and -51. Very high levels of MotA are required for footprinting and gel-shift experiments, and protein-DNA complexes formed in the presence of both phage-modified polymerase and MotA are more resistant to HindIII cleavage than those formed with either protein alone. These results suggest that MotA-DNA interactions may be stabilized by phage-modified polymerase. Sequences between -18 and -38 are absolutely required for MotA activation of transcription, but sequences upstream of -38 are stimulatory, particularly when chloride instead of glutamate is the major anion. Our results dissect PuvsX into a core promoter, downstream of -38, which is required for MotA activation, and an upstream region that enhances transcription especially under conditions less favourable for protein-DNA interactions.

Abstract
Bacteriophage T4 gene 17 amplification mutants (Hp17) selected by growth of gene 17 amber mutants on ochre suppressor strains of Escherichia coli carry two to more than sixfold tandem head-to-tail repeats of the gene 17-18 region (Wu & Black, 1987). We characterized the structures of Hp17 isolates by restriction enzyme mapping and Southern blot analysis. The left and right boundaries of the amplified sequences were mapped within genes 16 and gene 18 or 19, respectively. The TaqI-restriction fragments containing the novel junctions arising from fusion of the amplified gene were then cloned and sequenced. Three Hp17 mutants arose from rearrangement in one five base-pair (bp) block within a G + C-rich region of partial homology (24 bp with 4 mismatches) between genes 16 and 19. Moreover, an oligonucleotide probe showed that 190/191 mutants isolated had recombined within the 5 bp block, and other rearrangements within this 24 bp region were not detected. Only one anomalous Hp mutant rearranged elsewhere between genes 16 and 18 in a 14 bp homology region with one mismatch. Elimination of gene alt of phage T4 is required for isolation of Hp17 mutants, apparently because more DNA can be packaged into alt- heads. Requirements for the dispensable replication and recombination genes of T4 were probed; T4 topoisomerase (39, 52, 60), primase (58/61), and uvsX are required, whereas the host recA gene and T4 denV gene do not appear to be required for isolation of the Hp17 mutants. The evidence suggests an initiating sequence-specific rearrangement leads to the T4 Hp17 amplification mutants.
