Crosses have been performed which identify phage mutants (chi) which cause recombinational hot spot activity in lambda. The hot spot activity is found in crosses of red(-) gam(-) chi(-) strains in rec(+) hosts; in the crosses reported here, both the chi(-) mutations and the hot spot are located near the right end of the chromosome. The hot spot occurs in standard crosses as well as under conditions which block DNA synthesis, and is dependent on a functional host recB gene.-The chi mutation is shown to be dominant, but the tests do not show whether chi is a gene or a site.
已经进行了杂交实验,鉴定出导致λ噬菌体中重组热点活性的噬菌体突变体(chi)。在rec(+)宿主中红色(-)gam(-)chi(-)菌株的杂交中发现了热点活性;在此处报道的杂交中,chi(-)突变和热点都位于染色体右端附近。热点在标准杂交以及阻断DNA合成的条件下都会出现,并且依赖于功能性宿主recB基因。chi突变显示为显性,但这些测试并未表明chi是一个基因还是一个位点。
