Phage P4 DNA replication in vitro.
Phage P4 DNA is replicated in cell-free extracts of Escherichia coli in the presence of partially purified P4 alpha protein [Krevolin and Calendar (1985), J. Mol. Biol. 182, 507-517]. Using a modified in vitro replication assay, we have further characterized this process. Analysis by agarose gel electrophoresis and autoradiography of in vitro replicated molecules demonstrates that the system yi...
متن کاملConstitutive expression of a transcription termination factor by a repressed prophage: promoters for transcribing the phage HK022 nun gene.
Lysogens of phage HK022 are resistant to infection by phage lambda. Lambda resistance is caused by the action of the HK022 Nun protein, which prematurely terminates early lambda transcripts. We report here that transcription of the nun gene initiates at a constitutive prophage promoter, P(Nun), located just upstream of the protein coding sequence. The 5' end of the transcript was determined by ...
متن کاملDomain structure of phage P4 alpha protein deduced by mutational analysis.
Bacteriophage P4 DNA replication depends on the product of the alpha gene, which has origin recognition ability, DNA helicase activity, and DNA primase activity. One temperature-sensitive and four amber mutations that eliminate DNA replication in vivo were sequenced and located in the alpha gene. Sequence analysis of the entire gene predicted a domain structure for the alpha polypeptide chain (...
متن کاملSelective inhibition by harmane of the apurinic apyrimidinic endonuclease activity of phage T4-induced UV endonuclease.
1-Methyl-9H-pyrido-[3,4-b]indole (harmane) inhibits the apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease activity of the UV endonuclease induced by phage T4, whereas it stimulates the pyrimidine dimer-DNA glycosylase activity of that enzyme. E. coli endonuclease IV, E. coli endonuclease VI (the AP endonuclease activity associated with E. coli exonuclease III), and E. coli uracil-DNA glycosylase were not...
متن کاملPeptide presentation by bacteriophage P4.
This article focuses on bacteriophage P4 as a potential peptide display phage by exploring the possibility of using the P4 capsid decoration component, Psu, as a peptide carrier protein. Psu is non-essential for P4 growth but it enhances the stability of the P4 capsid by binding to its exterior. We have constructed a unique SacI cloning site in the beginning of the psu gene. This site changes t...
