The Phage-Encoded N-Acetyltransferase Rac Mediates Inactivation of <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> Transcription by Cleavage of the RNA Polymerase Alpha Subunit

The Phage-Encoded N-Acetyltransferase Rac Mediates Inactivation of <em>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</em> Transcription by Cleavage of the RNA Polymerase Alpha Subunit

In this study, we describe the biological function of the phage-encoded protein RNA polymerase alpha subunit cleavage protein (Rac), a predicted Gcn5-related acetyltransferase encoded by phiKMV-like viruses. These phages encode a single-subunit RNA polymerase for transcription of their late (structu...
