Type: | Family | Name: | Probable transcription termination protein NusA, archaeal |
Description: | This entry represents a family of archaeal proteins found in a single copy per genome. It contains two KH domains and is most closely related to the central region bacterial NusA, a transcription termination factor named for its interaction with phage lambda protein N in Escherichia coli. The proteins required for antitermination by N include NusA, NusB, NusE (ribosomal protein S10), and NusG. This system, on the whole, appears not to be present in the archaea. | Short Name: | NusA_arc |
