Mutant LexA proteins with specific defects in autodigestion.
In self-processing biochemical reactions, a protein or RNA molecule specifically modifies its own structure. Many such reactions are regulated in response to the needs of the cell by an interaction with another effector molecule. In the system we study here, specific cleavage of the Escherichia coli LexA repressor, LexA cleaves itself in vitro at a slow rate, but in vivo cleavage requires inter...

متن کاملStability puzzles in phage lambda.
In the absence of RecA-mediated cleavage of the repressor, the lambda prophage is exceptionally stable. We develop a stochastic model that predicts the stability of such epigenetic states from affinities of the molecular components. We find that the stability, in particular, depends on the maximum possible cI protein production, and on the number of translated cro proteins per transcribed mRNA....
متن کاملStability and instability in the lysogenic state of phage lambda.
Complex gene regulatory circuits exhibit emergent properties that are difficult to predict from the behavior of the components. One such property is the stability of regulatory states. Here we analyze the stability of the lysogenic state of phage λ. In this state, the virus maintains a stable association with the host, and the lytic functions of the virus are repressed by the viral CI repressor...
متن کاملDimerization between the holin and holin inhibitor of phage lambda.
Holins are integral membrane proteins that control the access of phage-encoded muralytic enzymes, or endolysins, to the cell wall by the sudden formation of an uncharacterized homo-oligomeric lesion, or hole, in the membrane, at a precisely defined time. The timing of lambda-infected cell lysis depends solely on the 107 codon S gene, which encodes two proteins, S105 and S107, which are the holi...
