A characteristic phenomenon in the F-factor-mediated inhibition of T7 phage is a virtual absence of T7 late protein synthesis in T7-infected Escherichia coli male cells, in spite of the presence of T7 late mRNA which is translatable in vitro when isolated from the cell. To determine whether the translational defect in T7-infected F+ cells is due to a T7 late mRNA-specific translational block, or to a general decrease of F+ cell translational activity, we compared the activities of cell-free, protein-synthesizing systems prepared from isogenic F- and F+ cells harvested at different times of T7 infection. The cell-free systems from uninfected F- and F+ cells translated T7late mRNA equally as well as MS2 RNA and T7early mRNA. The activity of cell-free systems from T7-infected F+ cells to translate MS2 RAN, T7 early mRNA, and T7 late mRNA decreased concomitantly at a much faster rate than that of T7-infected F- cells. Therefore, the abortive infection of F+ cells by T7 does not result from a T7 late mRNA-specific translational inhibition, although a general reduction of the translational activity appears to be a major factor for the inability of the F+ cells to produce a sufficient amount of T7 late proteins.
