A super-family of transcriptional activators regulates bacteriophage packaging and lysis in Gram-positive bacteria

The propagation of bacteriophages and other mobile genetic elements requires exploitation of the phage mechanisms involved in virion assembly and DNA packaging. Here, we identified and characterized four different families of phage-encoded proteins that function as activators required for transcript...
