【 摘 要 】

A sequence homologous to the known SOS boxes is found in the P_o promoter of phage λ. It is suggested that the sequence found is a binding site for the LexA repressor. The mechanism of the LexA part in regulation of λ development is discussed. It is based on the competitive transcription of the RNA encoding CII protein and the short OOP-RNA transcribed from the P_o promoter.
