Abstract excerpt
The bacteriophage P2 ogr gene encodes an 8.3-kDa protein that is a positive effector of P2 late gene transcription. The ogr gene is preceded by a promoter sequence (Pogr) resembling a normal Escherichia coli promoter and is located just downstream of a late transcription unit. We analyzed the kinetics and regulation of ogr gene transcription by using an ogr-specific antisense RNA probe in an S1 mapping assay....
