Abstract

OF the four subunits of Qβ replicase, I, III and IV are bacterial proteins and II is coded for by the phage genome1,2. Among host-derived subunits, I is identified as factor i, a protein which controls cistron-specific translation in Escherichia coli3,4, and III and IV are identified as protein synthesis elongation factors, EFTu and EFTs (ref. 5), respectively.
