  • Title: [Isolation and characteristics of mutation pfm affecting the penetration of phage Mu into Escherichia coli K-12 cells].
    Author: Oskolkova OB, Piruzian ES.
    Journal: Genetika; 1990 Jun; 26(6):1000-7. PubMed ID: 2172078.
    Abstract:
    A mutant of Escherichia coli K-12 strain with the destroyed process of establishment of lysogenic state for phage Mu in the course of zygotic induction has been obtained. The mutation revealed, designated pfm (penetration factor for Mu), interferes with adsorption of phage Mu to the surface of E. coli K-12 cells. On the basis of data obtained, there is every reason to believe that the phage Mu DNA connection with the membrane components of the bacterial cell provides optimizing condition for the primary integrative transposition of phage Mu at the stage of Mu DNA introduction into the cell.
