Intragenic complementation by gene 42 amber mutations of bacteriophage T4.
Phage T4 amber mutants defective in gene 42 (dCMP hydroxymethylase) were shown by in vivo and in vitro experiments to participate in both positive and negative intragenic complementation. This argues that incomplete polypeptide chains can participate in subunit interaction.
