UV sensitivity of a nonrepressor regulatory protein of bacteriophage P22.

PMCID: PMC515522  PMID: 768525

Abstract

The product of phage P22 gene c1 has two functions: it promotes synthesis of P22 repressor and it retards expression of some lytic genes. We present evidence that this product is inactivated in UV-irradiated hosts. The conditions for inactivation of c1 product include a functional DNA recombination system involving the host recA gene.
