Abstract excerpt
In the immune state bacteriophage P4 prevents expression of the replication functions by premature termination of transcription. A small RNA, the CI RNA, is the trans acting factor that regulates P4 immunity, by pairing to complementary target sequences and causing premature transcription termination. The CI RNA is matured by RNAse P and PNPase from the leader region of the same operon it regulates. In this work...
