Identification of a second gene-27 product (27bis) of bacteriophage T4, and its involvement in regulatation of expression of gene 51.
The 27 gene of bacteriophage T4 has been shown of encode two proteins of 44 and 39 kilodaltons (designated 27-44 and 27-39 bis, respectively) as a result of independent translational initiation at two different start codons within the same reading frame. The first product is the structural component of the viral baseplate. The latter with molecular weight 39 kDa probably plays significant role in regulation of expression of gene 51.
