Studies on the E. coli groNB (nusB) gene which affects bacteriophage lambda N gene function.

C P Georgopoulos, J Swindle, F Keppel

    Molecular & General Genetics : MGG

    Summary

    New Escherichia coli mutants, groNB, block bacteriophage lambda growth. These mutants also exhibit cold sensitivity, indicating a dual role for the groNB gene in bacterial and phage processes.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Molecular Biology
    • Bacteriophage Genetics

    Background:

    • Bacteriophage lambda's growth is regulated by specific gene products.
    • Escherichia coli mutants can confer resistance to phage infection.
    • Temperature-sensitive mutations are valuable tools for genetic analysis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To isolate and characterize Escherichia coli mutants affecting bacteriophage lambda growth.
    • To investigate the genetic locus responsible for these mutations.
    • To determine the relationship between phage growth inhibition and bacterial phenotypes.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolation of temperature-resistant mutants (groNB) of Escherichia coli.
    • Characterization of mutants using various bacteriophage lambda strains.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Genetic mapping of the groNB locus on the E. coli chromosome.
  • Complementation studies using lambda transducing phages.

    • Main Results:

    • Isolation of groNB mutants that inhibit bacteriophage lambda growth at the N gene product level.
    • Identification of the groNB locus at 9 minutes on the E. coli genetic map.
    • Co-inheritance of lambda growth inhibition and bacterial cold sensitivity phenotypes, suggesting linkage.
    • Recessive nature of groNB mutations to the wild-type gene, confirmed by complementation.

    Conclusions:

    • The groNB locus in Escherichia coli plays a crucial role in bacteriophage lambda development.
    • groNB mutations confer a dual phenotype: inhibition of phage lambda growth and bacterial cold sensitivity.
    • The groNB gene is essential for both phage propagation and optimal bacterial growth under specific conditions.
