Abstract excerpt
The Nun protein of phage HK022 blocks the expression of genes that lie downstream of the nut sites of phage lambda. Nun is believed to act by promoting premature termination of transcription at or near these sites. To test this hypothesis and to facilitate mapping the sites of termination, we inserted a gene encoding a suppressor tRNA immediately downstream of the lambda nutL site and determined the effect of Nun...
