Abstract excerpt
The gem product of bacteriophage Mu modulates synthesis of various host proteins and alters the host chromosome topology. To elucidate the role of the gem gene in Mu development, we analyzed the behavior of several mutants in this gene. The results, obtained with two Mu gem- phages, show that (1) phage growth is significantly delayed and inhibited, (2) early transcription is normal but late transcription is...
