The physiological conditions and molecular interactions that control phage production have been studied in only a few families of temperate phages. We investigated the mechanisms that regulate activation of lytic development in lysogens of coliphage N15, a prophage that is not integrated into the host chromosome but exists as a linear plasmid with covalently closed ends. We identified the N15 antirepressor gene, antC, and showed that its product binds to and acts against the main phage repressor ...[more]
