Abstract: Two open reading frames followed by a ρ-independent transcription terminator and, early promoter were established in a sequenced region downstream from gene 31 of T4 phage. The mRNA hairpin suggested by the terminator sequence has the structure (x)8CUUCGG(y)8, the loop sequence UUCG having been shown [10] to significantly stabilize RNA hairpins.
