Single-Stranded RNA Bacteriophages

  • Chapter
The Bacteriophages

Part of the book series: The Viruses ((VIRS))

Abstract

Since their discovery in 1961 by Loeb and Zinder, the RNA phages have served as a model system to explore a variety of problems in molecular biology. As a source of homogeneous and readily obtainable messenger RNA, they have been particularly helpful in solving questions on initiation of translation, and they have provided good insight into regulation of gene expression at the level of translation. The concepts of translational polarity and translational control by repressor proteins resulted from early studies on bacteriophage RNA.
