Defining cosQ, the site required for termination of bacteriophage lambda DNA packaging.

Genetics - 1 Jun 2001

Wieczorek D J, Feiss M

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophage lambda is a double-stranded DNA virus that processes concatemeric DNA into virion chromosomes by cutting at specific recognition sites termed cos. A cos is composed of three subsites: cosN, the nicking site; cosB, required for packaging initiation; and cosQ, required for termination of chromosome packaging. During packaging termination, nicking of the bottom strand of cosN depends on cosQ,...
