Abstract excerpt
The 109 amino acid residue Nun protein expressed from prophage HK022 excludes superinfecting phage lambda by arresting transcription on the lambda chromosome near the lambdanut sites. In vitro, the Nun N terminus binds to nascent lambdanutRNA, whereas the C terminus interacts with RNA polymerase and DNA template. Escherichia coli host factors, NusA, NusB, NusE (S10), and NusG, stimulate Nun-arrest. NusA binds the...
