Section 2 pt 2 B Flashcards
Phage λ: After infection and circularization of the DNA genes ____ and _____ are expressed
N and cro
Phage λ: N and cro allows expression of gene ____
cII
Phage λ: if lysis, activates expression of ____ and __ genes
structure & lysis
Phage λ: if lysogeny: expresses genes ___ and ___
cI and int
Immediately after infection, only the cro and N genes get transcribed because only the ___ and ____ are bound by the host’s RNA pol
PL and PR
transcription stops after cro and N because of the terminators
TL1 and TR1
After N and Cro get translated, they bind to DNA and RNA pol at ___ sites
nut
nut sites are named for N utilization as N is a ____ _______ protein
anti-terminator
N is an anti-terminator so it leads to continuous RNA pol transcription past terminator to make __ gene
cll
If cll is acted upon by proteases and inactivated, it means the cell is well growing and active and the _____ cycle occurs
lytic
If cll is not inactivated, It means the cell is in poor state, and the _____ cycle occurs
lysogenic
When cll gets degraded, activates replication and lysis genes and inhibits cl
early lytic genes: (2)
1- DNA replication genes “rolling circle replication” that makes linear concatemers
2- another anti terminator Q: activates transcription of late Luton genes (works PR’)
Late lytic genes: (3)
heads, tails, lysis
Rolling cycle replication makes concatermer by:
DNA replication makes copies of DNA with small gaps at the end, those are later recombined to form concatermer
