Control of lysogeny and antiphage defense by a prophage-encoded kinase-phosphatase module

Abstract The filamentous ‘Pf’ bacteriophages of Pseudomonas aeruginosa play roles in biofilm formation and virulence, but mechanisms governing Pf prophage activation in biofilms are unclear. Here, we identify a prophage regulatory module, KKP (kinase-kinase-phosphatase), that controls virion product...
