Abstract
We examined the cellular effects after the expression of the cloned lysis gene E of bacteriophage phi X174. Chloramphenicol prevented lysis only when added within the first minute of derepression of E synthesis, indicating that a time lag of several minutes exists between the synthesis of the E protein and the onset of cell lysis. Experiments with protonophores showed the existence of a subsequent step dependent on proton motive force at about 3 to 5 min before lysis.
