We investigated the synthesis of DNA in toluene-treated cells prepared fromEscherichia coli infected with bacteriophage T4. If the phage carry certainr II deletion mutations, those which extend into the nearby D2a region, the following results are obtained: (i) phage DNA synthesis occurs unless the phage carries certain DNA-negative mutations; and (ii) host DNA synthesis occurs even though the phage infection has already resulted in the cessation of host DNA synthesis in vivo. The latter result indicates that the phage-induced cessation of host DNA synthesis is not due to an irreversible inactivation of an essential component of the replication apparatus. If the phage are D2a+ , host DNA synthesis in toluene-treated infected cells is markedly reduced; phage DNA synthesis is probably also reduced somewhat. These D2a effects, considered along with our earlier work, suggest that a D2a-controlled nuclease, specific for cytosine-containing DNA, is active in toluene-treated cells.
