Lambda


Definition:

  • (14) Rolling-circle replicating structures which represent late stage lambda DNA replication can be detected among intracellular phage lambda DNA molecules under recombination deficient conditions as well as in wild-type infections.
  • (15) Nuclease protection experiments show that Xis protein of bacteriophage lambda specifically binds attachment (att) site DNA.
  • (16) Insertion sites were strongly clustered within the target lambda repressor gene: however no sequence specificity determinants could be identified.
  • (17) The defective hybrid genome thus harbors two origins for SV40 DNA replication in addition to the leftward operator and the N gene of lambda.

  • (19) Therefore, it was suggested that deletion of a gene in the region of the chromosome from the position of the insertion of the lambda prophage through the thyA gene caused loss of an essential and diffusible function.
  • (20) Complementation of int function of prophages lambda and pi81 was demonstrated in the formation of stable lysogenics.

Lambdacism


Definition:

  • (n.) A fault in speaking or in composition, which consists in too frequent use of the letter l, or in doubling it erroneously.
  • (n.) A defect in pronunciation of the letter l when doubled, which consists in giving it a sound as if followed by y, similar to that of the letters lli in billion.
  • (n.) The use of the sound of l for that of r in pronunciation; lallation; as, Amelican for American.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The lambdagt clones containing fragments of the Drosophila melanogaster genome were prepared and characterized by hybridization of their DNA with (I) lambdagt-cRNA; (2) lambdaC-cRNA; (3) Dm-cRNA; (4) the mRNA of D.melanogaster culture cells and (5) the stable cytoplasmic poly (A) RNA from the same source.
  • (2) Two lines of evidence suggest that this failure probably results from interference with expression of the lambdacI gene, which codes for repressor, or with repressor action:-(i) when a lon(-) mutant was infected with a lambdacII, cIII, or c Y mutant, there was an additive effect between the lon(-) mutation and the lambdac mutations upon reduction of lysogenization frequency; and (ii) lon(-) mutants permitted the growth of the lambdacro(-) mutant under conditions in which the repressor was active.
