Primary Identifier | IPR006524 | Type | Family |
Short Name | ArpU-like |
description | This entry represents a group of proteins that includes Putative autolysin regulatory protein ArpU. ArpU was originally described as a regulator of cellular muramidase-2 of Enterococcus hirae [], but appears to have been cloned from a prophage. This family appears related to the RinA family of bacteriophage transcriptional activators and to some sporulation-specific sigma factors, and it is proposed to be a phage transcriptional activator family. Members of this protein family are found in tailed bacteriophages (Caudovirales) and in Bacilli []. |
