IPR014054
Bacteriophage regulatory protein, Rha family
InterPro entry
Short name | Phage_regulatory_Rha |
Description
This entry represents a family of proteins which are encoded in temperate phages and bacterial prophage regions. They include the product of the late operon rha gene from lambdoid phage phi-80. The presence of this gene interferes with the infection of bacterial strains lacking the integration host factor that regulates the rha gene. Rha is thought to function as a phage regulatory protein
[1, 2].
