Abstract excerpt
The CIII protein of lambdoid bacteriophages promotes lysogeny by stabilizing the phage-encoded CII protein, a transcriptional activator of the repressor and integrase genes. We have isolated a set of missense mutations in the cIII gene of phage lambda and of phage HK022 that yield inactive CIII proteins. All the mutations are located in the relatively conserved central region of the protein. A comparative...
