Disease relevance of repA

  • The proposed origins of the known related hairpin prophages PY54, N15, and PKO2 are all located toward the 3' end of the corresponding repA genes, where several structure elements are conserved [1].
  • The repA gene of the linear Yersinia enterocolitica prophage PY54 functions as a circular minimal replicon in Escherichia coli [1].
