Abstract
Expression of the temporally defined “late” genes of Bacillus subtilis phage SP01 requires the protein products of regulatory genes 33 and 34. These proteins have now been isolated in pure form. Together with a host factor delta, they act synergistically to direct “late” gene transcription in vitro by core RNA polymerase.
