Specialized lambda transducing bacteriophage which carries hisS, the structural gene for histidyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase. 1979

S E Fishman, and K R Kerchief, and J Parker

A number of specialized lambda transducing bacteriophages which carry the Escherichia coli gene guaB were isolated from E. coli. One of these bacteriophages, lambda cI857 Sam7 d guaB-2, also carries hisS, the structural gene for histidyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase (EC 6.1.1.21). Histidyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase activities in induced and uninduced lysogens carrying lambda d guaB-2 indicate that the phage carries the entire structural gene and that the gene is under the control of an E. coli promoter. These conclusions were confirmed by the in vivo production of a protein encoded by the phage which comigrates with authentic histidyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase on two-dimensional polyacrylamide gels.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008242 Lysogeny The phenomenon by which a temperate phage incorporates itself into the DNA of a bacterial host, establishing a kind of symbiotic relation between PROPHAGE and bacterium which results in the perpetuation of the prophage in all the descendants of the bacterium. Upon induction (VIRUS ACTIVATION) by various agents, such as ultraviolet radiation, the phage is released, which then becomes virulent and lyses the bacterium.

D009876 Operon In bacteria, a group of metabolically related genes, with a common promoter, whose transcription into a single polycistronic MESSENGER RNA is under the control of an OPERATOR REGION. Operons

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
