โฆ Synopsis
Infection of rho- Escherichia coli cells with deletion mutant PII of bacteriophage f1 results in a miniphage RNA population composed of transcripts longer than those synthesized in the infection of rho+ cells. This indicates a Rho dependence of the terminator active at the end of the I region of transcription of bacteriophage f1. An estimate of the length of a transcript, which represents a good fraction of the RNA that passes beyond the terminator, indicates that the hairpin structure where synthesis of complementary strand DNA initiates also acts as a fairly efficient Rho-independent terminator.

A bacteriophage lambda cloning vector carrying the trp/lacW205 substitution is described. The vector facilitates the fusion in vitro of genetic control signals to the lacZ structural gene of Escherichia coli. This system was used to define transcriptional termination sites in the lambda b2 region. T
We report the effects in vivo of four segments of coliphage T7 DNA upon expression, from an upstream promoter, of galK in plasmids of the pKO family. Three of the segments carry the known major or putative distal terminators of host-dependent T7 early transcription. The fourth carries a novel termin
