By characterization of fragments, isolated from a nuclease digest of MS2 RNA, the entire nucleotide sequence of the coat gene was established. A “flower”-like model is proposed for the secondary structure. The genetic code makes use of 49 different codons to specify the sequence of the 129 amino-acids long coat polypeptide.

Bacteriophage Ms2 RNA: nucleotide sequence of the end of the a protein gene and the intercistronic region.
The sequence of an RNA segment of 160 nucleotides preceding the coat protein initiator AUG has been established. It contains the genetic information for the last 45 amino-acids of the A or maturation… Expand
A-Protein gene of bacteriophage MS2
The nucleotide sequence of the A-protein gene of bacteriophage MS2 has been determined and a model for its secondary structure is proposed. Also the amino acid sequence of the A-protein has been… Expand

TLDR
The strongest evidence for the presence of base-paired secondary structure comes from the nucleotide sequences which have been determined for parts of the RNAs of bacteriophages MS21 and R172 and for a 6S RNA of bacteriaiophage λ3. Expand
Lysis gene expression of RNA phage MS2 depends on a frameshift during translation of the overlapping coat protein gene
Translation of the lysis cistron of MS2 RNA requires a frameshift of ribosomes reading the upstream coat protein mRNA. The out-of-phase fraction of ribosomes terminates at either one of two nonsense… Expand
Complete nucleotide sequence of bacteriophage MS2 RNA: primary and secondary structure of the replicase gene
TLDR
The complete, primary chemical structure of a viral genome has now been established and biological properties, such as ribosome binding and codon interactions can now be discussed on a molecular basis. Expand
Gene F of bacteriophage phiX174. Correlation of nucleotide sequences from the DNA and amino acid sequences from the gene product.
TLDR
Simultaneous work on amino acid sequences of X174 coat proteins showed that these nucleotide sequences are part of the F gene, coding for the largest coat protein of the bacteriophage. Expand
The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the N (5′) terminal region of gene G of bacteriophage φX174
Abstract Gene G of bacteriophage φX174 DNA has been characterized by three techniques. (1) Transcription by RNA polymerase of appropriate DNA fragments from restriction enzyme digestion. (2) Use of… Expand
A sequence of 54 nucleotides from the A-protein cistron of coliphage-R17 RNA.
Three fragments from the A protein cistron of coliphage R17 ribonucleic acid have been found, purified and analysed from a partial T1 ribonuclease digest. A sequence of 54 nucleotides common to all… Expand
The coding function of nucleotide sequences can be discerned by statistical analysis.
TLDR
This analysis alone indicates that the genetic code is a non-overlapping triplet code and what the correct reading frame is, and the application of these methods to identify structure in sequences of unknown function is discussed. Expand

Two RNA fragments from a partial T1 ribonuclease digest of bacteriophage f2 RNA are isolated and their sequences are determined, including one which accounts for the only amino acid difference between the coat proteins of the two phages. Expand

The results further support the concept that the evolutionary process has taken advantage of the degeneracy of the genetic code in order to maximize secondary structure in this type of messenger RNA. Expand

Complementation between amber mutants of R17 reveals the existence of three phage cistrons, designated A, B and C, and two models for polarity based on the interaction between ribosomes and the phage message during protein synthesis are discussed. Expand
