DNA sequences and structural homologies of the replication origins of lambdoid bacteriophages

Nature volume 277, pages 621–627 (1979)Cite this article

Abstract

The DNA sequences for the origins of replication of the lambdoid bacteriophages φ80, 434, φ21, and λimm21 (identical to φ21) have been determined and compared to the λ structure. Two presumptive elaborate binding sites for two initiator proteins have been identified in their outer sections, while a replicational primer start site seems to be located in their centres.
