The amino terminal half of the MS2‐coded lysis protein is dispensable for function: implications for our understanding of coding region overlaps

We have asked whether genetic overlaps only evolve to provide extra coding capacity in genomes of restricted size. As a model system we have used the lysis gene of the RNA bacteriophage MS2. This gene overlaps with the distal part of the coat protein gene and with the proximal part of the replicase...
