4S oop RNA is a leader sequence for the immunity-establishment transcription in coliphage lambda.

oop RNA, which is initiated at the po promoter and is 81 nucleotides long, can function as a leader sequence for the lambda immunity establishment transcription, previously believed to originate at a special promoter pre located in the y region. Thus, oop RNA seems to have a dual role, either favouring the lytic cycle as a primer for the initiation of lambda DNA replication, or leading to the establishment of lysogeny when elongated into the imm transcript, which directs synthesis of the repressor.

Isolation of coliphages specific to enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC).

Bacteriophages specific to Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) are reported for the first time. Out of 15 isolated phages only 10 were specific to strains of ETEC. All ten phages of dsDNA could be grouped into three different genotypes based on their RAPD patterns observed and it is likellly that they belong to only 3 different strains. The three phages yielded clear plaques on 10 strains of ETEC within 4-6 h at 37 degrees C.

Escherichia coli nusG mutations that block transcription termination by coliphage HK022 Nun protein.

The Escherichia coli nusG gene product is required for transcription termination by phage HK022 Nun protein at the lambda nutR site in vivo. We show that it is also essential for Nun termination at lambda nutL. Three recessive mis-sense nusG mutations have been isolated that inhibit termination by Nun at lambda nutR. The mutations are ineffective in a lambda pL nutL fusion, even when lambda nutR replaces lambda nutL. The mutant strains support lambda growth, indicating that lambda N antitermination activity is not impaired. Transcription arrest by Nun in vitro is stimulated by NusG protein at both lambda nutR and lambda nutL. Mutant NusG protein fails to enhance transcriptional arrest by Nun at either site. The mutant protein, like the wild-type protein, suppresses transcriptional pausing by RNA polymerase and stimulates Rho-dependent termination. These results imply that the role of NusG in Nun termination may be distinct from its roles in other transcription reactions.
