A CI-Independent Form of Replicative Inhibition: Turn Off of Early Replication of Bacteriophage Lambda

Abstract: Several earlier studies have described an unusual exclusion phenotype exhibited by cells with plasmids carrying a portion of the replication region of phage lambda. Cells exhibiting this inhibition phenotype (IP) prevent the plating of homo-immune and hybrid hetero-immune lambdoid phages. We have attempted to define aspects of IP, and show that it is directed to repλ phages. IP was observed in cells with plasmids containing a λ DNA fragment including oop, encoding a short OOP micro RNA, and part of the lambda … Show more

“…594[pcIpR- P Δ76 -timm] transformants were unable to complement for P , suggesting that the region of P removed by the in-frame deletion of 76 codons, localized to the N-teminal end of the 233 amino acid P protein (fusing part of codon 9 with 86) is essential for the role of P in λ replication. The immune state, i.e., imm λ[Ts] phenotype, of the pcIpR-[ ]-timm plasmids was examined (Table 5, and [36]) by plating λ cI 72 on hosts with plasmids encoding intact P or O genes.…”

“…Plasmid p434’pR- O -timm has a hybrid cI gene fusion made from λ and 434 cI genes and the resulting repressor does not repress transcription from pR , allowing constitutive O expression at all temperatures [36]. …”

“…Thus, the early study of lambda replication contributed greatly to an understanding of the detailed steps required to accomplish controlled initiation. In addition, the origin is activated by rightward transcription from P R , but this phenomenon remains poorly understood (Leng and McMacken, 2002; Hayes et al , 2012; Olszewski et al , 2014). In some other lambdoid phages like P22, the P gene is replaced by a gene that encodes an actual DnaB type helicase (Wickner, 1984a and 1984b), and phages APSE-1 and N15 encode a putative DNA polymerase (van der Wilk et al , 1999) or a bifunctional helicase-primase (Ravin et al , 2000; Mardanov and Ravin, 2006), respectively.…”
