โฆ Synopsis
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 terminator and maps in the late region of T7. We report the efficiencies of termination in these regions: evidence, based on studies with the E. coli nusA1 mutation, for an involvement of the transcription factor NusA in events at the major early and novel terminators: and the nature of the latter transcription signal.

Initiation of DNA replication from the Escherichia coli origin, oriC, is dependent on an RNA polymerase-mediated transcription event. The function of this RNA synthetic event in initiation, however, remains obscure. Since control of the synthesis of this RNA could serve a key role in the overall ini
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 tra
Promotor sequences recognized by Escherichia coli RNA polymerase have been isolated from bacteriophage T7 DNA using the plasmid pBRH4. T7 DNA was digested with the restriction endonuclease Hae III, Alu I, and Eco RI\* and the products of these digestions were ligated into the EcoRI site of pBRH4. Cl
