Abstract excerpt
Bacteriophage P4's superinfection immunity mechanism is unique among those of other known bacteriophages in several respects: (i) the P4 immunity factor is not a protein but a short, stable RNA (CI RNA); (ii) in the prophage the expression of the replication operon is prevented by premature trans...
