Isolation and properties of rex - mutants of bacteriophage lambda.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Twenty-five rex(-) mutants of phage lambda have been isolated. Three of the mutants, including one amber mutant, map at three distinct sites within the rex region of the lambda genetic map. The existence of the amber mutant provides further evidence that rex and cI are distinct genes, since it seems to be identical to wild-type lambda in its ability to establish or maintain lysogeny.

Properties of the translocatable tetracycline-resistance element Tn10 in Escherichia coli and bacteriophage lambda.
A number of independent insertions into bacteriophage lambda of the translocatable tetracycline-resistance element Tn10 have been isolated and characterized. The physical positions and relative orientations of several such insertions were determined. Two independent insertions appear to lie in the same orientation at or very near the same site in the cI gene, and two more lie in opposite orient...
متن کاملRegulation of xrex Expression After Infection of Escherichia coli K by Lambda Bacteriophage LAZARUS
on expression of the Xrex+ gene, since little inhibition was observed following infection by a Xrex mutant or by a hybrid bacteriophage Xii44 which lacks a functional rex gene. For promotion of the synthesis of rex product, cII+ and N+ genes are required and can act trans, whereas cY+, also required, must be cis to a rex+ gene. These genes presumably play a role in the transcription of the cd-r...
متن کاملConstruction of the Recombinant Plasmid Expressing AID under the Control of Temperature-sensitive Promoter of Bacteriophage Lambda
Background and purpose: Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is a B-cell specific enzyme responsible for somatic hypermutation (SHM) and class switch recombination (CSR) of antibody genes within the B-cell follicle of peripheral lymphoid organs. Ectopic overexpression of the enzyme leads to mutations in non-B cells and Escherichia coli (E.coli) genes. However, induction of mutations in E...
متن کاملMethod for isolating restriction- and modificationless mutants of Escherichia coli K-12.
A simple method is described for the selection and isolation of restriction- and modificationless mutants in Escherichia coli K-12 by using the following properties: (i) the temperature-sensitive repressor activity of phage lambdacI857; (ii) a mutant of lambda phage defective in integration and the establishment of repression (lambdab2cI); (iii) a virulent lambda phage insensitive to the repres...

Background: Apoptin is a protein from chicken anemia virus that could induce apoptosis specifically in the cancer cells but it has not any effect in the normal cells. Phage therapy is a novel field of cancer therapy and phage nanobioparticles (NBPs) such as λ phage could be modified to deliver and express genetic cassettes into eukaryotic cells safely in contrast with animal viruses. The bacter...
