Abstract excerpt
The lambdoid bacteriophage regulate gene expression by suppressing transcription terminators. Although similar in sequence to lambda, HK022 lacks an analogue to the lambda N antitermination gene and a distinct nutR sequence. To define the HK022 antitermination system, we plated the phage on Escherichia coli nus mutants that inhibit lambda N function. Only rpoB60 (also called nusC60) blocked HK022 lytic growth....
