e14 prophage
Organization
- Lambdoid cryptic prophage
- 24 ORFs, 20 of which show significant similarity to Lambdoid genes[1]
Notes
Prophage e14 has site-specific excision (ref) and integration functions. When the SOS-response is induced, e14 excises from the chromosome and forms a14.4-kilobase(kb) DNA circle.[2]
The E. coli sfiC gene is located on the e14 prophage.[3]
