Abstract excerpt
We show that the rpoA341 mutation in the gene encoding the alpha subunit of Escherichia coli RNA polymerase results in a decreased level of transcripts originating from the lytic promoters PL and PR of infecting lambda phage. However, using lacZ fusions we demonstrate that initiation of transcrip...
