Coliphage P2 late control gene ogr. DNA sequence and product identification.

The bacteriophage P2 late control gene ogr was cloned and precisely localized by deletion analysis in vitro. The DNA sequence of the ogr gene containing the ogr1 mutation was determined. The sequence translates into a basic protein of a molecular weight of 8300. Plasmids overproducing the ogr gene product were constructed, and the ogr gene product was identified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
