Abstract

Bacteriophage lambda has been in use as a cloning vector for over 25 years, and has been used extensively as an expression vector. The efficiency of packaging and infection, and the simplicity of plaque screening are advantages of lambda as a cloning vector. A number of ingenious modifications help overcome the disadvantages associated with its mode of growth and its size. Some lambda vectors have been designed to be readily converted into plasmids or phagemids, and there are a variety of promoters and fusions that can be used to drive expression of foreign genes. Screening lambda libraries with antibodies or ligands is a powerful way of identifying novel genes.

The lambda switch: cI closes the gap in autoregulation.

The bacteriophage lambda genetic switch is still yielding surprises. A recent study reveals that a long-range interaction involving proteins bound 2.4 kilobases away from one another on the phage genome mediates negative autoregulation, solving a long-standing puzzle concerning the regulation of lysogeny.

Site-specific photo-cross-linking between lambda integrase and its DNA recombination target.

The site-specific recombinase (Int) of bacteriophage lambda is a heterobivalent DNA-binding protein and is composed of three domains as follows: an amino-terminal domain that binds with high affinity to "arm-type" sequences within the recombination target DNA (att sites), a carboxyl-terminal domain that contains all of the catalytic functions, and a central domain that contributes significantly to DNA binding at the "core-type" sequences where DNA cleavage and ligation are executed. We constructed a family of core-type DNA oligonucleotides, each of which contained the photoreactive analog 4-thiodeoxythymidine (4-thioT) at a different position. When tested for their respective abilities to promote covalent cross-links with Int after irradiation with UV light at 366 nm, one oligonucleotide stood out dramatically. The 4-thioT substitution on the DNA strand opposite the site of Int cleavage led to photo-induced cross-linking efficiencies of approximately 20%. The efficiency and specificity of Int binding and cleavage at this 4-thioT-substituted core site was shown to be largely uncompromised, and its ability to participate in a full site-specific recombination reaction was reduced only slightly. Identification of the photo-cross-linked residue as Lys-141 in the central domain provides, along with other results, several insights about the nature of core-type DNA recognition by the bivalent recombinases of the lambda Int family.

Discriminating small molecule DNA binding modes by single molecule force spectroscopy.

Drugs may interact with double stranded DNA via a variety of binding modes, each mode giving rise to a specific pharmacological function. Here we demonstrate the ability of single molecule force spectroscopy to discriminate between different interaction modes by measuring the mechanical properties of DNA and their modulation upon the binding of small molecules. Due to the unique topology of double stranded DNA and due to its base pair stacking pattern, DNA undergoes several well-characterised structural transitions upon stretching. We show that small molecule binding markedly affects these transitions in ways characteristic to the binding mode and that these effects can be detected at the level of an individual molecule. The minor groove binder berenil, the crosslinker cisplatin and the intercalator ethidium bromide are compared.
