The Influence of Plasmid N3 on λ Phage Deveiopment Pathway
Abstract: Plasmid N_3 inhibits inductive development in λ lysogen. It makes λ yield lower 10~(-5)—10~(-6) times than that of the contiol. Plasmid N_3 inhibits λ lysogenic development pathway on λ infection. Tire inhibition mechanism of λ development by plasmid N_3 is supposed that the polymerization and depolymerization of λ cI proteins is blocked by the interaction between λ cI protein and plasmid N_3 (probably, plasmid N_3 protein(S)).
