Bacterial host transcription shutoff by virus
uniprot
definition
Viral protein involved in inhibiting transcription of bacterial genes to ensure the shutoff of host proteins expression and give viral transcripts a competitive edge for access to the cellular translation machinery. Preventing the expression of host proteins is also a strategy to counteract the antiviral response. Some bacterial viruses inhibit the host RNAP: bacteriophage SPO1 for example is known to shut off host RNA synthesis.
