| Abstract | The positively regulated PRE promoter of phage lambda structurally overlaps with the ribosome-binding and NH2-terminal coding region of the regulatory protein (cII) that activates PRE transcription. We have isolated and characterized 27 different point mutations that occur within the 36-base-pair overlapping region. A comparison of genetic crossover data with nucleotide separations as determined by DNA sequence analysis reveals that recombination frequencies are greatly depressed at very short distances. Moreover, recombination frequency is critically dependent upon the precise nucleotide sequence of the crossover region for distances of five nucleotides or less. The mutations define precise positions and sequences that are important to (i) PRE promoter function, (ii) translation of the cII gene, and (iii) cII gene function. Mutational changes that affect the function of one element in this region concomitantly define phenotypically silent alterations in the other two elements. Mutations deficient in promoter function (P-RE or cy) are clustered in two regions that lie approximately equal to 10 and approximately equal to 35 nucleotides before the initial base of PRE mRNA, analogous to mutations in other promoters. P-RE mutations in the -10 region alter bases that are conserved in prokaryotic promoters, but P-RE mutations in the -35 region do not affect bases that are normally conserved in other promoters. Several mutations deficient in cII gene activity affect the initiation of cII protein synthesis, including an A leads to G change four bases outside the cII coding region, and AUG leads to GUG, AUG leads to ACG, and AUG leads to AUA mutations in the initiation codon. In the region of overlap between the PRE promoter and the NH2-terminal region of the cII gene, most amino acid substitutions in the cII protein do not result in a loss of cII function, indicating that this region of the gene does not contain essential information for cII function. We suggest that the overlap itself is an evolutionarily conserved structure and that it somehow coordinates the bidirectional transcriptional and translational events that occur in this region. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
