Protein Family Models

The arginine-rich motif of the N protein is involved in transcriptional antitermination of phage lambda. N36 forms a complex with boxB RNA by binding tightly to the major groove of the boxB hairpin via hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions forming a bent alpha helix [1]. [1]. 10759866.
