Bacteriophage regulatory protein, Rha family

InterPro entry
Short namePhage_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
