Location of ribosome-binding sites in the nin5 region of bacteriophage lambda.
Seven ribosome-binding sites on DNA have been located within the region defined by the nin5 deletion as well as several ribosome-binding sites on each side of the nin5 region. These were mapped by electron microscopy relative to the end points of the nin5 deletion and two Tn903 transposons, one inserted into gene Rz and another inserted near gene Q. These ribosomes binding sites within the nin5 region may correspond to polypeptide initiation sites for up to seven new dispensible lambda genes.
