A site in the T4 bacteriophage major head protein gene that can promote the inhibition of all translation in Escherichia coli.

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 constructed plasmids in which the gol region is transcribed from the lac promoter and fused translationally and...
