E. coli integration host factor (IHF) both participates directly in phage .lambda. site-specific recombination and regulates the expression of phage and bacterial genes. Using protection from nuclease and chemical attack as an assay, the interaction of IHF with DNA was examined. IHF is a specific DNA binding protein that interacts with three distinct segments of attP, the recombination site carried by phage .lambda.. Specific IHF binding sites are located in non-att DNA. Several non-att IHF binding sites that were identified are adjacent to genes whose expression is altered in IHF mutants. From comparison of the sequences protected by IHF, it is suggested that the critical determinant in specific IHF-DNA interaction is contained in the sequence .**GRAPHIC**.
