Abstract excerpt
The cryptic DNA element, e14, synthesizes a protein, Lit, which can inhibit gene expression late in T4 bacteriophage development. This inhibition is due to the interaction between the Lit protein and a short region, the gol region, within gene 23, the major head protein gene of phage T4. We have...
