Tight regulation of the intS gene of the KplE1 prophage: a new paradigm for integrase gene regulation.
Temperate phages have the ability to maintain their genome in their host, a process called lysogeny. For most, passive replication of the phage genome relies on integration into the host's chromosome and becoming a prophage. Prophages remain silent in the absence of stress and replicate passive...
