Chapter 8 - Major shifts in bacterial transcription. The main contents of this chapter include all of the following: Sigma factor switching, the RNA polymerase encoded in phage T7, infection of E. coli by phage λ,.and another contents. | Molecular Biology Fourth Edition Chapter 8 Major Shifts in Bacterial Transcription Lecture PowerPoint to accompany Robert F.

Sigma Factor Switching Phage infection of bacterium subverts host transcription machinery In process, establishes a time-dependent, or temporal, program of transcription First early phage genes are transcribed This is followed by the later genes Late in the infectious cycle there is no longer transcription of the host genes, only phage genes Change in what genes transcribed is caused by a change in transcription machinery, in RNA polymerase itself 8- Phage Infection Chapter 6 established that s is the key factor in determining specificity of T4 DNA transcription To shift the transcription process s is a likely candidate Study of the process done in B. subtilis and its phage, SPO1 8- Temporal Control of Transcription Like T4, SPO1 has a large genome . | Molecular Biology Fourth Edition Chapter 8 Major Shifts in Bacterial Transcription Lecture PowerPoint to accompany Robert F.
