An in vitro assay for measuring the activity of the phage lambda A-gene product has been developed. The assay is based on the observation that A-donor extracts complement A minus extracts for packaging of exogenous immature lambda DNA into phage particles. A partial purification of the A-gene product activity using this assay is presented. A method is suggested by which this A protein-dependent in vitro system might be manipulated to analyze the mechanism of reforming the lambda cohesive termini during chromosome assimilation into phage precursors.
