| Abstract | The cII and cIII proteins specified by bacteriophage lambda direct the lysogenic response to infection through the coordinate establishment of repression and integration of the viral DNA. The regulatory activity of cII/cIII involves positive regulation of two promoter sites: the p(E) promoter, turning on expression of the cI protein that maintains lysogeny, and the p(I) promoter, activating synthesis of the Int protein for integrative recombination. Regulation of the p(I) promoter provides for differential expression of the Int protein with respect to the excision-specific Xis protein from the closely linked int and xis genes. We have determined the DNA sequence of the p(I) promoter region for wild-type lambda DNA and for two classes of mutations: intc mutations, which result in a high rate of Int synthesis in the absence of cII, and deletion mutations, some of which eliminate cII-activated expression of the int gene. We find a sequence with considerable homology (11 of 15 bases) to a 'typical' (computer-generated) promoter sequence, adjacent to a region with striking homology (11 of 14 bases) to part of the p(E) promoter region. This presumed p(I) sequence overlaps the start of the xis gene and includes the site of two intc point mutations. A cII-insensitive xis(+) deletion partially removes the proposed p(I) sequence; a deletion that leaves the p(I) sequence intact but terminates 21 bases upstream does not interfere with cII activation of the int gene. From our results and the analysis of the p(E) region, we suggest that cII acts in the promoter -35 recognition region to facilitate binding by RNA polymerase at the -10 interaction region. Differential expression of the int and xis genes results because the p(I) transcript lacks the initiation codon for Xis protein synthesis. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
