Phage_lambda_P

• PFAM accession number: PF06992
• Interpro abstract (IPR009731):

  This family consists of several Bacteriophage lambda replication protein P like proteins. The bacteriophage lambda P protein promoters replication of the phage chromosome by recruiting a key component of the cellular replication machinery to the viral origin. Specifically, P protein delivers one or more molecules of Escherichia coli DnaB helicase to a nucleoprotein structure formed by the lambda O initiator at the lambda replication origin [ (PUBMED:2165499) ].

• GO process: DNA replication initiation (GO:0006270)
