Abstract: | A bacteriophage P1-specific DNA binding protein has been partially purified from P1-infected Escherichia coli and identified as the P1c1 repressor. This protein is absent from non-suppressing cells infected with a P1c1 amber mutant. The binding activity of the protein isolated from cells infected with a c1ts mutant is thermolabile in vitro, so the repressor protein is the product of the c1 gene. Studies on P1 DNA fragments generated by restriction endonuclease digestion indicate that the c1 repressor binds preferentially in vitro at a site or sites located close to the c1 gene itself. |
