Overexpression of the Bacteriophage T4 <i>motB</i> Gene Alters H-NS Dependent Repression of Specific Host DNA
The bacteriophage T4 early gene product MotB binds tightly but nonspecifically to DNA, copurifies with the host Nucleoid Associated Protein (NAP) H-NS in the presence of DNA and improves T4 fitness. However, the T4 transcriptome is not significantly affected by a <i>motB</i> knockdown. H...
