T7 infection of F-factor-containing PIFA+ ,B+ cells is abortive. In spite of the presence of mRNA for all three classes of T7 proteins, only the earliest of the T7 proteins are synthesized. A crucial question is whether the failure of T7 to develop in PIFA+ ,B+ cells is the result of an inability to translate the late classes of T7 mRNA or, as has been recently suggested (Britton, and Haselkorn, 1975; Condit, 1975), whether it is the result of a more generalized alteration in membrane permeability. We have examined the effects of the wild-type PIFA+ ,B+ episome and two episomal mutations (pifA − andpifB − ) on in vitro translation and membrane permeability. In vivo the episomal mutations allow partial or complete T7 development to occur. We demonstrate that cell-free protein-synthesizing systems from T7-infected PIFA+ ,B+ cells show a three- to fivefold decrease in the rate of translation of both natural and synthetic mRNA. In addition, ribosomes from T7-infected PIFA+ ,B+ cells are defective in their ability to bind Fmet tRNAf in response to natural mRNA. By contrast, cell-free extracts from T7-infectedpifA − (PIFA− ,B+ ) cells retain the ability to bind Fmet tRNAf and to translate natural and synthetic mRNA at normal rates. The defective T7-infected PIFA+ ,B+ ribosomes can be restored to full activity by a trypsin-sensitive fraction from uninfected PIFA+ ,B+ or T7-infected PIFA− ,B+ cells. Despite the differences in translational capacity of these extracts, both T7-infected PIFA+ ,B+ and PIFA− ,B+ cells display the same permeability lesions as measured by the loss of ATP from the cells into the supernatant. Mutation of the episome topfiB − prevents the loss of ATP from the cells after T7 infection.
