The Psu protein of phage satellite P4 inhibits transcription termination factor ρ by forced hyper-oligomerization

Abstract Many bacteriophages modulate host transcription to favor expression of their own genomes. Phage satellite P4 polarity suppression protein, Psu, a building block of the viral capsid, inhibits hexameric transcription termination factor, ρ, by presently unknown mechanisms. Our cryogenic electr...
