4S oop RNA is a leader sequence for the immunity-establishment transcription in coliphage lambda. 1976

A Honigman, and S L Hu, and R Chase, and W Szybalski

oop RNA, which is initiated at the po promoter and is 81 nucleotides long, can function as a leader sequence for the lambda immunity establishment transcription, previously believed to originate at a special promoter pre located in the y region. Thus, oop RNA seems to have a dual role, either favouring the lytic cycle as a primer for the initiation of lambda DNA replication, or leading to the establishment of lysogeny when elongated into the imm transcript, which directs synthesis of the repressor.

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.
