Q

Host protein synthesis is stopped by virus induced degradation of the host DNA, viral proteins that interfere with transcription, or the repression of translation. Initially, the phage uses the host cells nucleotides and several of it’s enzymes to synthesize many copies of phage DNA. Biosynthesis of viral proteins begins. The host cells ribosomes, enzymes, and amino acids are used for translation. Late messages are translated into phage capsid proteins.
