Abstract excerpt
Prophage P4 immunity is elicited by a short, 69-nucleotide RNA (CI RNA) coded for within the untranslated leader region of the same operon it controls. CI RNA causes termination of transcription that starts at the promoter PLE and prevents the expression of the distal part of the operon that codes for P4 replication functions (alpha operon). In this work, we identify two sequences in the untranslated leader...
