When bacteriophage lambda infects a sensitive bacterium, one of the first messenger RNA species synthesized is very short, beginning at a site P L and extending just through an adjacent gene N. After the appearance of the gene N protein, messages become much longer, still beginning at PL but extending far beyond gene N. The N gene encodes

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes
  1. an antiterminator acting just beyond gene N

  2. a new sigma factor acting on a promoter beyond gene N

  3. an activator for a promoter beyond gene N

  4. an antirepressor that removes a protein repressor bound at gene
