Transcription-factor-mediated DNA looping probed by high-resolution, single-molecule imaging in live E. coli cells.

DNA looping mediated by transcription factors plays critical roles in prokaryotic gene regulation. The "genetic switch" of bacteriophage λ determines whether a prophage stays incorporated in the E. coli chromosome or enters the lytic cycle of phage propagation and cell lysis. Past studies...
