Regulation of Repressor Expression in λ*

H Eisen 1,†, P Brachet 1, L Pereira da Silva 1, F Jacob 1,‡
PMCID: PMC283129  PMID: 5269249

Abstract

A new gene in bacteriophage λ is described. The product of this gene cro prevents expression of immunity and regulates the expression of those genes to the left of the immunity region. cro- mutants have been isolated and characterized.
