Description
Gene 0.3 is expressed at very high levels and protects T7 from various type I restriction systems by mimicking the shape of B DNA. Gp0.3 has been shown to bind the EcoKI restriction enzyme in a 2:1 complex and to displace the enzyme from its target DNA.
Second site suppressors of 0.7-,2- infections map to gene 0.3 (Molineux, PC). Unknown why this is the case.
