title: Protein-DNA assemblies controlling lytic development of bacteriophage Mu.
abstract: Recent analysis of the mechanism and regulation of transposition by bacteriophage Mu has emphasized the importance of controlled assembly of specific protein-DNA complexes. Both the Mu transposase and the Mu repressor engage in multiple protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions that modulate the outcome of a phage infection.
