A monomeric mycobacteriophage immunity repressor utilizes two domains to recognize an asymmetric DNA sequence

Bacteriophage repressor proteins downregulate viral lytic gene expression. Herein, the authors present the X-ray crystal structure of a monomeric repressor that binds an asymmetric DNA sequence using two independent domains.
