Transcription termination and late control in phage lambda.
A transcription termination site occurs between the promoter for late gene expression of bacteriophage lambda and the late genes themselves. It is proposed that the lambda Q gene product controls late gene expression by over-coming this termination barrier.
متن کاملTranscription termination signals in the nin region of bacteriophage lambda: identification of Rho-dependent termination regions.
The approximately 3-kb nin region of bacteriophage lambda, located between genes P and Q contains transcription termination signals as well as 10 open reading frames. Deletions in the nin region frees phage growth from dependence on the lambda-encoded N-transcription antitermination system, conferring a Nin phenotype (N-independence). A subregion of nin, roc, is defined by a 1.9-kb deletion (de...
متن کاملThe structure of the coliphage HK022 Nun protein-lambda-phage boxB RNA complex. Implications for the mechanism of transcription termination.
Nun protein from coliphage HK022 binds to phage boxB RNA and functions, in contrast to phage lambda N protein, as a transcriptional terminator. The basic Nun-(10-44) peptide contains the boxB RNA binding arginine rich motif, ARM. The peptide binds boxB RNA and competes with the phage lambda ARM peptide N-(1-36) as indicated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy titrations. In two-dim...
متن کاملStability puzzles in phage lambda.
In the absence of RecA-mediated cleavage of the repressor, the lambda prophage is exceptionally stable. We develop a stochastic model that predicts the stability of such epigenetic states from affinities of the molecular components. We find that the stability, in particular, depends on the maximum possible cI protein production, and on the number of translated cro proteins per transcribed mRNA....
