Abstract |
Recent analysis of the mechanism and regulation of transposition by bacteriophage Mu has emphasized the importance of controlled assembly of specific protein- DNA complexes. Both the Mu transposase and the Mu repressor engage in multiple protein- protein and protein- DNA interactions that modulate the outcome of a phage infection.
