Infection ofEscherichia coliB with gene 1 defective mutants of coliphage T7 results in inhibition of host mRNA synthesis. Hybridization of pulse-labeled RNA from infected cells to phage and host DNA shows that the kinetics of shutoff of host mRNA are identical in infections with wild-type phage and either amber or temperature-sensitive gene 1 mutants. At low multiplicities of infection, chloramphenicol or puromycin prevent the shut off, indicating a requirement for a phage-coded protein (s). At higher multiplicities, there is a chloramphenicol-independent, multiplicity-dependent inhibition of translation. However, at low multiplicity, translation of preformedlacmRNA is not prevented. Since, under nonpermissive conditions, gene 1 mutants code for only two or three other early proteins in addition to the inactive gene 1 product, one or more of these appear to be a likely candidate for the protein responsible for turning off host mRNA synthesis.
