Abstract excerpt
Temperate coliphage HK022 requires integration host factor (IHF) for lytic growth. The determinant responsible for this requirement was identified as a new gene (roi) located between genes P and Q. This gene encodes a DNA-binding protein (Roi) containing a helix-turn-helix motif. We have shown that Roi binds a site within its own gene that is closely linked to an IHF binding site. By gel retardation experiments,...
