Lambda CI Binding to Related Phage Operator Sequences Validates Alignment Algorithm and Highlights the Importance of Overlooked Bonds
Bacteriophage λ’s CI repressor protein controls a genetic switch between the virus’s lysogenic and lytic lifecycles, in part, by selectively binding to six different DNA sequences within the phage genome—collectively referred to as operator sites. However, the minimal level of information needed for...
