Interaction between the sbcC gene of Escherichia coli and the gam gene of phage lambda
Abstract
gam mutants of phage lambda carrying long palindromes fail to form plaques on wild-type Escherichia coli but do grow on strains that are mutant in the sbcC gene. gam + lambda carrying the same palindrome grow on both hosts and on a host deleted for the recB, C and D genes. These results suggest that the Gam protein of lambda, known to interact also with E. coli's recBCD protein, can interact with the product of the sbcC gene.
