Group of 22 offprints mimeographs etc. on molecular biology and bacterial genetics together with 2 related papers by other authors. Various sizes. 1947-1968. Together in one volume cloth "Institut Pasteur" in gilt on the spine. Overall good to very good; see detailed condition descriptions below. From the library of G. G. and Elinor Meynell authors of Theory and Practice in Experimental Biology 1970 with their address label on the front endpaper and ownership signatures on several of the offprints. First / First Separate Editions. Jacob Monod and Lwoff all colleagues at the Institut Pasteur received the 1965 Nobel Prize in physiology / medicine for their discoveries concerning genetic control of enzyme and virus synthesis-discoveries that "opened up a new field of research that deserved to be called 'molecular biology'" Magill The Nobel Prize Winners: Physiology or Medicine II p. 921. Their work answered the fundamental question of how the hereditary information contained in DNA can be translated into the chemical processes that synthesize cellular proteins this question had been posed most succinctly and explicitly in Francis Crick's theoretical paper "On protein synthesis" 1957 which laid the groundwork for over a decade's worth of research in this area. Brenner another key figure in this field worked with Jacob and Matthew Meselson on providing experimental evidence for messenger RNA; he was awarded a share of the 2002 Nobel Prize for his discoveries concerning genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death. The collection we are offering here focuses largely on the Nobel Prize-winning work done by the Institut Pasteur group-Lwoff Jacob and Monod-in the 1950s and 1960s. The work can be divided into four sections: 1 lysogeny and bacterial conjugation 2 expression of the genetic material via messenger RNA 3 the regulation of the genetic activity of bacterial cells by operons 4 the organization of bacterial genetic material. In the following paragraphs we will attempt to highlight the more important papers in this remarkable collection; however all the papers here touch upon these central questions of molecular biology. Lysogeny defined as the hereditary ability to produce the bacteriophage virus is a peculiar type of infection in which the phage becomes part of the genetic material of a bacterial cell; in this non-infective form prophage it can then be inherited by succeeding generations of cells becoming virulent only when some environmental stimulus causes the bacterium to produce and release phage. "Lysogeny brought a model for the interrelation between a virus and a cell. And also a model for the possible mode of action of carcinogenic agents which could disturb something in this balance" Judson p. 368. Lwoff studied this phenomenon intensively in the late 1940s and early 1950s successfully demonstrating the genetic nature of lysogeny which was disputed by several scientists including Delbruck and discovering how it is induced. In 1953 he published an important review of the subject "Lysogeny" Bacteriological Review 17; see no. 2 below. Lysogeny was also studied by Jacob and Elie Wollman whose paper "Induction of phage development in lysogenic bacteria" CSH Symposia on Quant. Biol. 18 1953; see no. 5 below summarizes what had been learned about lysogeny as of that date. Lwoff's work on lysogeny inspired Jacob and Wollman to investigate the phenomenon of bacterial conjugation the transfer of genetic information from a male donor bacterium to a female recipient resulting in genetic recombination to see if they could discover where in the bacterium's genetic material the prophage was located. In 1955 working with a highly recombinant strain of E. coli K12 discovered by William Hayes Jacob and Wollman performed what came to be known as their "coitus interruptus" experiment in which they used a Waring blender to interrupt the mating bacteria at various stages of their conjugation. They found that the donor cell's genetic characteristics were not transferred all at once but rather sequentially over time-a discovery of great importance. "Wollman and Jacob had stumbled upon a way to measure off the genes on the bacterial chromosome as directly and physically as a child squeezes toothpaste onto a brush or a carpenter unrolls a coiled steel tape measure. As they saw instantly and reported in a note in mid-June 1955 in the weekly Comptes rendus of the Academie des Sciences "Sur le mecanisme du transfert de materiel genetique au cours de la recombinaison chez E. coli K12"; see no. 6 below they had the means to make a genetic map of biochemical characteristics expressed in units of time" Judson p. 385. In 1956 Wollman and Jacob published the first albeit rudimentary timed map of the K12 strain of E. coli in a paper published in France. This map was printed again in their English-language paper "Conjugation and genetic recombination in E. coli K-12" CSH Symposia on Quant. Biol. 21 1956; see no. 8 below which also contained the first publication of Thomas Anderson's famous electron micrograph of two conjugated bacteria. In 1958 Jacob delivered his paper "Transfer and expression of genetic information in E. coli K12" see no. 9 below at a symposium in Brussels; this paper together with one given by Jacob's sometime colleague Arthur Pardee "ranged over the whole matter of transfer of genes between bacteria and the regulation of their expression" Judson p. 400. Jacob and Wollman had originally represented the hereditary material in linear form while stating that the genetic map could be formally represented as a circle. In 1963 at a Cold Spring Harbor conference the researcher J. Cairns provided physical evidence that the E. coli chromosome was circular; at this same conference Jacob Brenner and co-author Francois Cuzin presented their paper "On the regulation of DNA replication in bacteria" CSH Symposia on Quant. Biol. 28; see no. 16 below containing their "replicon model of chromosome replication in bacteria a model that almost required circularity of chromosomal and F factor DNA" Brock p. 103. Experimental proof of the existence of messenger RNA the substance responsible for coding protein synthesis was announced in Brenner Jacob and Meselson's landmark paper "An unstable intermediate carrying information from genes to ribosomes for protein synthesis" Nature 190 1961; see no. 1 below. The theoretical groundwork for messenger RNA had been laid in Crick's "On protein synthesis" 1957; demonstration of the substance's existence had been foreshadowed by Volkin and Astrachan's discovery of a high-turnover unstable RNA distinct from the ribosomal and transfer varieties 1956 and by the famous "PaJaMo" experiment demonstrating the negative control mechanism of enzyme induction 1958. However it was not until the spring of 1960 that these previous findings were combined by Brenner Jacob and Francis Crick into a biological model setting forth the exact means of communication between gene and cytoplasm while eliminating the various problems associated with earlier ribosome-based theories of gene expression. As Brock puts it the ribosome was now seen as "simply a nonspecific translation machine something like a computer whose behavior depended on what software it contained" Brock p. 306. Working with Matthew Meselson who had developed experimental techniques for tagging and separating ribosomes Brenner and Jacob performed the critical experiment described in their paper which provided direct evidence for the existence of an unstable rapidly turning over messenger RNA. The concept of the operon-a group of adjacent genes functioning as a unit under the control of another gene the operator gene-developed between 1958 and 1960 on the basis of work done by Monod and Jacob who were investigating the repressor model of gene regulation. Jacob developed the idea that gene regulation was based on a repression system that operated like an on-off switch and that "genetic units of a higher order existed . . . that contained several genes subject to unitary expression. . . . On the basis of these ideas and observations Jacob and Monod developed the concept of two kinds of genes structural which coded for the synthesis of proteins and regulatory which did not" Brock p. 300. In October 1959 Jacob and Monod published the theoretical basis for the operon in "Genes de structure et genes de regulation dans la biosynthese des proteines" C. r. Acad. Sci. 249; see no. 11 below. Their paper "established the sharp distinction between the familiar genes that determined protein structures and the new class of genes that regulated. It even looked to them then as though the product of the regulatory gene were not a protein by RNA. But the fact to be underlined they said was that in every known case when several structural genes had their expression controlled by the same regulatory gene-'that is to say in all probability by a unique repressor'-the structural genes were grouped tightly together. . . . The best fit to the evidence was that the group of genes had among them a single element: the operator target of the repressor" Judson p. 410. The Jacob/Monod operon model of gene expression was further explored in their 1961 paper "On the regulation of gene activity CSH Symposia on Quant. Biol. 26; see no. 14 below which presented a more detailed examination of the mechanics of protein synthesis.
