TLDR
Two types of spontaneous and NTG-induced mutants of Escherichia coli 594 insensitive to the lethal action of λ P gene were isolated and called rpl, showing different phenotypes.

Fine Tuning and Cross-talking of TGF-β Signal by Inhibitory Smads

TL;DR: Exploring the molecular mechanisms about the regulations of ISmads may provide the therapeutic clues for human diseases induced by the abnormal TGF-β signaling, which is implicated in the pathogenesis of human diseases.

The Bacteriophage λ DNA Replication Protein P Inhibits the oriC DNA- and ATP-binding Functions of the DNA Replication Initiator Protein DnaA of Escherichia coli

TL;DR: It is concluded that the lambda P protein inhibits the binding of oriC DNA and ATP to the wild-type DnaA protein, which causes the inhibition of host DNA synthesis initiation that ultimately leads to bacterial death.

Genes that protect against the host-killing activity of the E3 protein of Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage SPO1.

TL;DR: A cloned rpoB gene, specifying an apparently mutantRNA polymerase beta subunit, protected Escherichia coli against the cytocidal effects of the E3 protein of bacteriophage SPO1, suggesting that RNA polymerase is the primary cellular target of theE3 protein.

The Mutation that Makes Escherichia coli Resistant to λ P Gene-mediated Host Lethality Is Located within the DNA Initiator Gene dnaA of the Bacterium

TL;DR: It is shown that under the lambda P gene-mediated lethal condition, the host DNA synthesis is inhibited at the initiation step, and it is concluded that the rpl mutations, which make E. coli resistant to lambda PGene-mediated host lethality, are located within the DNA initiator gene dnaA of the host.

Bacteriophage λ P gene shows host killing which is not dependent on λ DNA replication

TL;DR: It is concluded that the higher levels of P protein, produced either when cro has the hk mutation or when tR1 is deleted, are lethal to the host.

Physical interactions between bacteriophage and Escherichia coli proteins required for initiation of lambda DNA replication.

TL;DR: The results show that the dnaK protein specifically interacts with both lambda O and lambda P, and that thednaJ protein specifically interact with the dnB helicase, which unwinds the duplex DNA template at the replication fork.

Mechanism of λc17cI virulence

TL;DR: It was proposed that λc 17 cI is virulent because its constitutive replication leads to oversaturation of the cI + repressor produced by the prophage and this leads to expression of genes which were initially subject to repression in the input λ c 17 ci .

Studies on polylysogens containing λN−cl− prophages I. control of synthesis and maintenance of a large number of integrated λ genomes

TL;DR: Results indicate that the maintenance of 20–25 copies of integrated phage genome in λ N − c I − polylysogens is the result of both passive and O and P protein-mediated synthesis, and that the latter may be regulated by the cro gene product.
