Abstract
Bacteriophages employ small proteins to usurp host molecular machinery, thereby interfering with central metabolic processes in infected bacteria. Generally, phages inhibit or redirect host transcription to favor transcription of their own genomes. Mechanistic and structural studies of phage-modulated host transcription may provide inspirations for the development of novel antibacterial substances.Entities:
