Identity of genes A2 and A3 of bacteriophage BF23.
The polypeptide coded by gene A3 of bacteriophage BF23 has been purified and its N-terminal amino acid sequence determined. This sequence is identical to the N-terminal sequence of the polypeptide coded by gene A2. The two gene products have identical molecular weight. We conclude that these two gene products are identical, and are coded by one and the same gene, namely gene A2-A3, which was previously thought to be two genes, A2 and A3.
