Abstract

Two features of the unusual and complex regulatory system which controls lytic growth in the Streptomyces temperature phage thetaC31 will be studied. Firstly, the protein-DNA interactions between inframe, N-terminally different repressor isoforms and the 18 operators located throughout the phage genome will be characterised in vitro and the functional differences between the isoforms determined. Secondly, an in vivo, genetic approach will be used to ascertain the roles of the multiple operators in thetaC31.
