摘要

The lysis-lysogeny decision of bacteriophage λ has been a paradigm for a developmental genetic network, which is composed of interlocked positive and negative feedback loops. This genetic network is capable of responding to environmental signals and to the number of infecting phages. An interplay between CⅠ and Cro functions suggested a bistable switch model for the lysis-lysogeny decision. Here, we present a real-time picture of the execution of lytic and lysogenic pathways with unprecedented temporal resolution. We monitor, in vivo, both the level and function of the CⅡ and Q gene regulators. These activators are cotranscribed yet control opposite developmental pathways. Conditions that favor the lysogenic response show severe delay and down-regulation of Q activity, in both CⅡ-dependent and CⅡ-independent ways. Whereas CⅡ activity correlates with its protein level, Q shows a pronounced threshold before its function is observed. Our quantitative analyses suggest that by regulating CⅡ and CⅢ, Cro plays a key role in the ability of the λ genetic network to sense the difference between one and more than one phage particles infecting a cell. Thus, our results provide an improved framework to explain the longstanding puzzle of the decision process.
