Previous genetic studies have suggested that the Bof protein of bacteriophage P1 can act as both a negative and a positive regulator of phage gene expression: in bof-1 prophages, the ref gene and a putative phage ssb gene are derepressed, but expression of an operator-semiconstitutive variant of the phage ban gene (bac-1) is markedly reduced. An explanation of this apparent duality is suggested by recent reports that Bof is a corepressor of genes that are regulated by the phage C1 repressor, including the autoregulated c1 gene itself. Here we show, by means of operon fusions to lacZ, that the balance points between Bof-mediated decreases in c1 expression and Bof-mediated increases in C1 efficacy are different among various C1-regulated genes. Thus, expression of Bof by P1 prophages affects some genes (e.g., bac-1 ban) positively, and others (e.g., ref) negatively. Even at bac-1 ban, where the positive indirect effect of Bof is physiologically dominant, Bof can be seen to act as a corepressor if C1 is supplied from a nonautoregulated (ptac-c1) source, eliminating the effect of Bof on C1 synthesis. | |||

| Abstract |
Previous genetic studies have suggested that the Bof protein of bacteriophage P1 can act as both a negative and a positive regulator of phage gene expression: in bof-1 prophages, the ref gene and a putative phage ssb gene are derepressed, but expression of an operator-semiconstitutive variant of the phage ban gene (bac-1) is markedly reduced. An explanation of this apparent duality is suggested by recent reports that Bof is a corepressor of genes that are regulated by the phage C1 repressor, including the autoregulated c1 gene itself. Here we show, by means of operon fusions to lacZ, that the balance points between Bof-mediated decreases in c1 expression and Bof-mediated increases in C1 efficacy are different among various C1-regulated genes. Thus, expression of Bof by P1 prophages affects some genes (e.g., bac-1 ban) positively, and others (e.g., ref) negatively. Even at bac-1 ban, where the positive indirect effect of Bof is physiologically dominant, Bof can be seen to act as a corepressor if C1 is supplied from a nonautoregulated (ptac-c1) source, eliminating the effect of Bof on C1 synthesis. |
