The lethal lambda S gene encodes its own inhibitor.

The EMBO journal - 1 Apr 1990

Abstract excerpt

The 107 codon reading frame of the lambda lysis gene S begins with the codon sequence Met1-Lys2-Met3..., and it has been demonstrated in vitro that both Met codons are used for translational starts. Furthermore, the partition of initiation events at the two start codons strongly affects the scheduling of lysis. We have presented a model in which the longer product, S107, acts as an inhibitor of the shorter...
