qin101: Promoter mutation which allows the constitutive expression of the late genes.

Abstract

We describe the isolation and characterization of a mutant (lambda qin101) which renders lambda growth Q independent. We have shown that this mutation creates a new promoter, located between genes P and Q, which results in the constitutive expression of the entire Q late region.
