โœฆ Synopsis


The E. coli dnaK (groPC756) gene product is essential for bacteriophage lambda DNA replication. Bacterial DNA segments carrying this gene have been cloned onto a bacteriophage lambda vector. The product of the dnaK gene has been identified on SDS polyacrylamide gels after infection of UV-irradiated E. coli cells. The dnaK gene codes for a polypeptide with an apparent molecular weight of 93,000-Mr. Transducing phages carrying amber mutations in the dnaK gene fail to induce the synthesis of the 93,000-Mr polypeptide chain upon infection of sup+ bacteria, but do so upon infection of supF bacteria. E coli carrying the dnaK756 mutation are, in addition, temperature sensitive for growth at 43 degrees C. It is shown that the dnaK756 mutation results in an overproduction of the dnaK gene product at that temperature.

We have previously shown that a mutation (groPC259) in the E. coli dnaJ gene renders the cell inviable at high temperatures and arrests bacteriophage lambda DNA replication at all temperatures (Sunshine et al., 1977).

Escherichia coli nusB mutants fail to support the activity of a phage lambda gene product, pN, which regulates phage gene expression by influencing transcription termination. We report the identification of the nusB protein on SDS-polyacrylamide gels as a 14,500 dalton protein.

A specialized transducing lambda phage carrying the dnaN and dnaA genes of Escherichia coli specifies two proteins of about 41 and 48 kilodaltons (kd). The temperature-sensitive mutations, dnaN59 and dnaA167, were found to result in altered isoelectric points of the 41 and 48 kd proteins, respective
