RESUMO

Bacteriophage T5 absorption immediately followed by injection of the first-step-transfer DNA segment produces alterations in the bacterial membrane which reduce the uptake of amino acids and of o-nitrophenyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside. Concomitantly, intracellular ATP is hydrolyzed. The extent of inhibition of uptake and of ATP hydrolysis is cooperatively increased with the multiplicity of infection. Inhibition of active transport at a high multiplicity of infection (greater than 3) is also observed after the second step of DNA injection. In contrast, at low multiplicities of infection, phage proteins are able to enhance amino acid uptake. Infection of su- bacteria with amber mutants in the first-step-transfer DNA suggests that protein A1 is implicated in this enhancement.
