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}.
