Interactions of phage λ with its host, E. coli. (A) Overview of λ activities in E. coli: (a) free phage, (b) binding and entry, (c) DNA circularization and supercoiling, (d) transcription, (e), replication, and (f) virion assembly. Details are shown in B–E. (B) Infection and DNA ejection, (C) DNA ligation, (D) gene regulation. An asterisk means weakly bound to the RNA polymerase. (E) DNA replication. Phage proteins are labeled in red, host proteins in black. Modified after Das (1992) and Mason and Greenblatt (1991).
