description | This entry represents RNA polymerase inhibitor, including Gp2 from T7-like viruses. Bacterial RNA polymerase inhibitor, which is expressed in the late stage of lytic development, is also essential for continuous synthesis of phage DNA and functions in the packaging of the viral genome into the mature phage particle []. It inhibits the bacterial host RNA polymerase by interacting with the RpoC subunit and inhibiting the formation of a promoter complex [, , ]. |
