Type: | Family | Name: | NusB antitermination factor |
Description: | The NusB protein is involved in the regulation of rRNA biosynthesis by transcriptional antitermination. The antitermination proteins of Escherichia coliare recruited in the replication cycle of Bacteriophage lambda, where they play an important role in switching from the lysogenic to the lytic cycle. The solution structure indicates that the protein folds into an alpha/alpha-helicaltopology consisting of six helices; the arginine-rich N terminus appears to be disordered []. | Short Name: | NusB_fam |
