Escherichia coli K-12 and B contain functional bacteriophage P2 ogr genes.
The bacteriophage P2 ogr gene encodes an essential 72-amino-acid protein which acts as a positive regulator of P2 late transcription. A P2 ogr deletion phage, which depends on the supply of Ogr protein in trans for lytic growth on Escherichia coli C, has previously been constructed. E. coli B and K-12 were found to support the growth of the ogr-defective P2 phage because of the presence of func...
متن کاملAn Escherichia coli Gene Required for Bacteriophage P2-K Interference
The gene old of bacteriophage P2 is known to (i) cause interference with phage A growth; (ii) kill recBmutants of Escherichia coli after P2 infection; and (iii) determine increased sensitivity of P2 lysogenic cells to X-ray irradiation. In all of these phenomena, inhibition of protein synthesis occurs. We have isolated bacterial mutants, named pin (P2 interference), able to suppress all of the ...
متن کاملLipopolysaccharide-deficient, bacteriophage-resistant mutants of Escherichia coli K-12.
Bacteriophage-resistant mutants isolated and classified in a previous study were examined for alterations in their lipopolysaccharide (LPS) composition, and properties likely to be affected by alterations in LPS composition were studied. It was found that many of the mutants of the Ktw (K2-resistance), Ttk (T2, T4, or K19 resistance), Bar (bacteriophage), Wrm (wide-range mutants), and miscellan...
متن کاملRegulation of bacteriophage P2 late-gene expression: the ogr gene.
The ogr gene product of bacteriophage P2 is a positive regulatory factor required for P2 late-gene transcription. We have determined the nucleotide sequence of the ogr gene, which encodes a basic polypeptide of 72 amino acids. P2 growth is blocked by a host mutation, rpoA109, in the alpha subunit of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase. The ogr52 mutation, which allows P2 to grow in an rpoA109 strain, ...
متن کاملGenes and proteins of Escherichia coli K-12
GenProtEC is a database of Escherichia coli genes and their gene products, classified by type of function and physiological role and with citations to the literature for each. Also present are data on sequence similarities among E.coli proteins, representing groups of paralogous genes, with PAM values, percent identity of amino acids, length of alignment and percent aligned. GenProtEC can be ac...
