Abstract
Inversion of the ihf site in the promoter region of the early promoter of bacteriophage Mu did not influence the integration host factor (IHF)-mediated functions. IHF bound to this inverted site could counteract H-NS-mediated repression, directly activate transcription, and support lytic growth of bacteriophage Mu. This implies that the IHF heterodimer and its asymmetrical binding site form a functionally symmetrical complex.Entities:
