The topological mechanism of phage lambda integrase.

Bacteriophage lambda integrase (Int) is a versatile site-specific recombinase. In concert with other proteins, it mediates phage integration into and excision out of the bacterial chromosome. Int recombines intramolecular sites in inverse or direct orientation or sites on separate DNA molecules. This wide spectrum of Int-mediated reactions has, however, hindered our understanding of the topology of Int recombination. By systematically analyzing the topology of Int reaction products and using a mathematical method called tangles, we deduce a unified model for Int recombination. We find that, even in the absence of (-) supercoiling, all Int reactions are chiral, producing one of two possible enantiomers of each product. We propose that this chirality reflects a right-handed DNA crossing within or between recombination sites in the synaptic complex that favors formation of right-handed Holliday junction intermediates. We demonstrate that the change in linking number associated with excisive inversion with relaxed DNA is equally +2 and -2, reflecting two different substrates with different topology but the same chirality. Additionally, we deduce that integrative Int recombination differs from excisive recombination only by additional plectonemic (-) DNA crossings in the synaptic complex: two with supercoiled substrates and one with relaxed substrates. The generality of our results is indicated by our finding that two other members of the integrase superfamily of recombinases, Flp of yeast and Cre of phage P1, show the same intrinsic chirality as lambda Int.     

W-reactivation and W-mutagenesis of gamma-irradiated phage lambda.

UV irradiation of Escherichia coli wild-type cells manifested the phenomena of W-reactivation (WR) and W-mutagenesis (WM) of phage lambda irradiated by 60Co gamma-rays in broth. WR of gamma-irradiated phage was half as efficient as that of UV-irradiated phage, although the frequency of c mutations in conditions of WR was about the same in both phages. The xthA and recBrecC sbcB mutants were practically identical with wild-type cells in respect of WR and WM of UV- and gamma-irradiated phage. As in UV-irradiated phage, WR and WM of gamma-irradiated phage were absolutely dependent on the recA+ and lexA+ genes of the host cell. WR and WM required much smaller doses of UV radiation for induction in polA1 and uvrB mutants. The lig-ts mutant, temperature sensitive in polynucleotide ligase, was deficient in WR and WM of UV- and gamma-irradiated phage at the semi-permissive temperature of 37 degrees. The uvrE502 mutant and the allelic recL152 strain were absolutely deficient in WR and WM of gamma-irradiated phage. In UV-irradiated phage WR was reduced, but not eliminated, in the uvrE mutant, and WM was entirely suppressed. This is another example of uncoupling of WR and WM which shows that several repair systems are active in WR but only some of them are mutagenic.     

Influence of the recA- mutation on spontaneous filamentation and the titer of the lambda phage in ylonB- mutants of E. coli K12 (lambda)]

A study was made of the effect of recA- mutation on the spontaneous filament formation and the spontaneous induction of the lambda prophage in the E. coli K12 strain bearing lonB- mutation. It was revealed that in the absence of a functionally-active product of the recA- gene the lonB- strain of E. coli K12 displayed but a partial depression of spontaneous formation of filamentous forms and of spontaneous induction of the lambda prophage.

N-terminal sequence of phage lambda repressor

Summary Lambda repressor was purified from an E. coli strain which produces 150 times more lambda repressor than a single lysogen. The sequence of the fifty N-terminal residues was determined by automated Edman degradation. It contains 43% of all arginine and lysine residues of the chain and constitutes according to the genetic data of Oppenheim et al. (1975) a substantial part of the operator-DNA-binding site of the repressor.     

Filter-supported preparation of lambda phage DNA

A rapid and simple method is described for the isolation of DNA from phage lambda which requires neither special equipment nor expensive material such as cesium chloride for ultracentrifugation nor extractions with organic solvents or ethanol precipitation. Microgram quantities of lambda DNA are obtained in less than 2 h from 90-mm plate lysates or 5-ml liquid cultures. The method allows the simultaneous isolation of large numbers of probes, e.g., clones from phage libraries. Lambda phages are precipitated by polyethylene glycol/sodium chloride and recovered by low speed centrifugation onto glass fiber filters positioned in disposable syringes. The DNA of phages is released by a 50% formamide/4 M sodium perchlorate solution, washed in filter-bound form, eluted with a small volume of low-salt buffer or water, and finally recovered by centrifugation. Comparison of the DNA isolated by this method with that obtained by two conventional procedures reveals both a similar recovery and a similar suitability for restriction enzyme digestion and subcloning.     

Enlarged model of lambda phage ontogenesis

An enlarged threshold model of the Regulatory System of Development of λ -Phage (RSDP λ-2) is built. It includes 15 synthetic blocks of proteins and mRNAs and four blocks corresponding to the other ontogenetic processes: two-stage replication, integration and excision of phage genome, formation of oligomers of regulatory proteins, regulation of bacteriallysis. By way of computer simulation of the RSDP A-2 model the dynamics of concentrations of all main proteins, respective fractions of mRNAs and DNA are described in the lytic and lysogenic regimes of phage ontogenesis. Results obtained are in good agreement with available experimental data. The dependence of a portion (%) of lysogenic responses on the multiplicity $\text{k}$ of phage infection of bacterial culture, is built. This curve has a maximum point in accordance with the experimental data of P. Kourilsky (1973).     

Rapid isolation of phage lambda DNA

A modified procedure in two versions (micro, for 10 ml of phage lysate, and macro, for 200-500 ml) is described for preparing lambda phage DNA. The main advantage of the modified method is that it gives a possibility to isolate high-quality DNA from lambda phage lysates in 2-3 hrs. Only standard solutions (TE, NaCl, SDS, MgCl2, EDTA, RNAse A) were used throughout the whole protocol. Incubation with DNAse I and proteinase K was omitted and in microvariant concentration of the phage by PEG 6000 was excluded. Digestion by RNAse A was performed in solution with EDTA and SDS and leads to RNA degradation. The yields of DNA (0.5-2 micrograms per ml of L-broth) are similar to those obtained by other methods. DNA quality is better than in the samples of DNA prepared by other express-methods and practically the same as after CsCl centrifugation. DNA can be used for splitting by restriction enzymes, cloning and gene library construction.
