Abstract excerpt
RegA protein of T4 and related bacteriophages is a highly conserved RNA-binding protein that represses the translation of many phage mRNAs that encode enzymes involved in DNA metabolism. RB69, a T4-related bacteriophage, has a unique regA gene, which we have cloned, sequenced, and expressed. The predicted amino acid sequence of RB69 RegA is 78% identical to that of T4 RegA. Plasmid-encoded RB69 RegA expressed in...
