In the polarity suppressor strain psuA 1, we observe a partial N independence of both transcription and DNA-membrane attachment for a lambda NN mutant. These results, in agreement with the genetical data reported by Dambly et al. (1976), suggest that the N product and rho factor are involved in the

✦ Synopsis
Analysis of lambda phage infection of the host mutant ER437 by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and autoradiography has revealed altered expression of repressor and integration function (Int). We show that in this host Int as well as repressor synthesis is not dependent upon the lambdacIII gene product in the usual manner, nor is their synthesis turned off in the normal way.

Phi80dargECBH DNA has been used to direct cell-free synthesis of argininosuccinase, the argH gene product in Escherichia coli K12. In vitro enzyme synthesis is sensitive to repression by partially purified preparations from an argR+ strain but not by corresponding preparations from an argR- strain.
