When a neighboring cell has been reached by AHL it turns on an antisenseRNA against a T7 messenger to interrupt its life cycle if it becomes infected, this delay in the life cycle of T7 gives more time to colicins to act upon the translation machinery reducing active ribosomes to zero before the assembly of any T7 particle. | When a neighboring cell has been reached by AHL it turns on an antisenseRNA against a T7 messenger to interrupt its life cycle if it becomes infected, this delay in the life cycle of T7 gives more time to colicins to act upon the translation machinery reducing active ribosomes to zero before the assembly of any T7 particle. | ||
