Journal ArticleDOI

Integration host factor: a protein for all reasons.

TL;DR: The identification and characterization of the Escherichia coli DNA binding protein integration host factor (IHF) is an elegant example of how a well-characterized virus can be employed in the analysis of a host function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role for a phage promoter in Shiga toxin 2 expression from a pathogenic Escherichia coli strain.

TL;DR: Since transcription initiating at p(R') ultimately requires activation of the phage lytic cascade, expression of stx(2)AB in STEC depends primarily on prophage induction, contradict the prevailing assumption that phages serve merely as agents for virulence gene transfer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional and genetic analysis of regulatory regions of coliphage H-19B: location of shiga-like toxin and lysis genes suggest a role for phage functions in toxin release

TL;DR: Observations suggest that stx‐I expression can be enhanced by transcription from pR′ as a model for toxin release through cell lysis mediated by action of phage‐encoded lysis functions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bacteriophage control of Shiga toxin 1 production and release by Escherichia coli

TL;DR: It is found that replication of the phage genome, with the associated increase in stx1AB copy number, is the most quantitatively important mechanism by which H‐19B induction increases Stx1 production.
