Type: | Family | Name: | Bacteriophage lambda, Nu1, terminase small subunit |
Description: | This entry is represented by the Bacteriophage lambda, Nu1, terminase small subunit. The characteristics of the protein distribution suggest prophage matches in addition to the phage matches. Terminase, the DNA packaging enzyme of bacteriophage lambda, is a heteromultimer composed of subunits Nu1 and A. The smaller Nu1 terminase subunit has a low-affinity ATPase stimulated by non-specific DNA []. | Short Name: | Phage_lambda_Nu1_terminase-ssu |
