Selection for mutations in the PR promoter of bacteriophage lambda.

Abstract:

:Insertion of DNA containing PR, the early rightward promoter of bacteriophage lambda, is lethal to M13-derived vectors when the promoter directs transcription (using the '+' strand as template) toward the M13 origin of replication (ori). Lethality can be relieved by mutation of PR, repression of the promoter by the lambda cl repressor, or by insertion of a strong transcription terminator between PR and ori. We have used selection for plaque formation in the absence of repressor to isolate 14 different mutations at 8 sites in PR. This method of isolating promoter mutants in vivo is applicable generally to strong promoters whose activity is regulated either positively or negatively.

  • Protection of discrete DNA fragments by the complex H1-octamerhistones or H5-octamerhistones after micrococcal nuclease digestion.

    abstract::Several authors, including ourselves, have reported the existence of chromatosomes with DNA size larger than 166 bp in bird erythrocyte chromatin. It was tempting to correlate this increased DNA size with the presence of histone H5. In order to substantiate this hypothesis, we performed a micrococcal nuclease digestio...
