The Rex system of bacteriophage lambda: tolerance and altruistic cell death.

Genes & development - 1 Mar 1992

Parma D H, Snyder M, Sobolevski S, Nawroz M, Brody E, Gold L

Abstract excerpt

The rexA and rexB genes of bacteriophage lambda encode a two-component system that aborts lytic growth of bacterial viruses. Rex exclusion is characterized by termination of macromolecular synthesis, loss of active transport, the hydrolysis of ATP, and cell death. By analogy to colicins E1 and K, these results can be explained by depolarization of the cytoplasmic membrane. We have fractionated cells to determine...
