✦ Synopsis

The isolation of a bacterial mutation in a gene, designated groPC, which affects the growth of phages lambda and P2 is described. Lambda replication is severely limited in the strain, and some lambda pi mutations, which map in (or near) the P gene, allow growth. The gro mutation, groPC259, is recessive to wild type and maps between threonine (thr) and diaminopimelate (dapB) on the E. coli chromosome. The possibility that the groPC gene is concerned with host DNA replication is discussed.

A bacterial mutation affecting lambda DNA replication, called groPC756, has been mapped between the thr and leu bacterial loci. Most of the parental lambda DNA does not undergo even one round of replication in this host. Lambda mutants, call pi, which map in the lambda P gene are able to overcome th

We show that a collection of 93 E. coli mutations which map between thr and leu and which block phage lambda DNA replication define two closely linked cistrons. Work published in the accompanying paper shows that these mutations also affect host DNA replication, so we designate them dnaJ and dnaK; t

A grpE mutation of Escherichia coli K12, which blocks DNA replication of the phage lambda (Saito and Uchida, 1977), was mapped at 56 min on the standard genetic map. A transducing lambda phage, lambdagrpE22, carrying the wild type allele of the grpE gene was constructed in vitro. Structures of lambd
