| UniProt functional annotation for P03700 | |||
| UniProt code: P03700. |
| Organism: | Escherichia phage lambda (Bacteriophage lambda). | |
| Taxonomy: | Viruses; Duplodnaviria; Heunggongvirae; Uroviricota; Caudoviricetes; Caudovirales; Siphoviridae; Lambdavirus. | |
| Function: | Integrase is necessary for integration of the phage into the host genome by site-specific recombination. In conjunction with excisionase, integrase is also necessary for excision of the prophage from the host genome. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15973401, ECO:0000303|PubMed:16139195}. | |
| Subunit: | Homotetramer. Interacts (via N-terminus) with the excisionase (via C-terminus) (PubMed:12832614). Part of the excision complex made of the integrase tetramer, IHF, Fis and Xis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12832614, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25114241}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the 'phage' integrase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
