Exclusion of bacteriophage T1 by bacteriophage lambda. I. Early exclusion requires lambda N gene product and host factors involved in N gene expression.

RESUMO

Two modes of exclusion of T1 by lambda are distinguished. "Early" exclusion depends on gene N, but not on gene Q. It is at least partially ineffective against T1am23. "Late" exclusion depends on gene Q and effects T1am23 as well as T1+. Early exclusion is a direct effect of N gene product, rather than N gene being required for the expression of some other lambda gene. Three host mutations, groN, nusA, and nusB, known to interfere with lambda replication by affecting N gene expression, also interfere with the ability of lambda to exclude T1.
