Some of these enzymes are also encoded by bacteriophages and are used to degrade the host cell wall [ 9, 10, 11].
The classic helix-turn-helix (HTH)-domain proteins, which govern the switch between the lysogenic and lytic pathways of temperate bacteriophages, and repressors containing the MetJ/Arc domain are well-known examples of such regulatory DNA-binding proteins in prokaryotic virus-host systems [ 4, 5, 6, 7, 8].
We identify the first homologs of the cellular RDRP outside the eukaryotic clade, in bacteriophages, and show that RDRPs and DDRPs share a homologous catalytic core, which comprises a six-stranded double-psi-β-barrel (DPBB) domain.
Subsequently, this enzyme apparently has been expunged from the cellular RNA synthesis systems and survived only in some parasitic elements, such as bacteriophages, through which it might have been reintroduced into the genome of an ancestral eukaryote.
Furthermore, there is considerable interest in these proteins as they could be potential targets for antibacterial agents, and some cell-wall-hydrolyzing enzymes from bacteriophages themselves function as antibacterial agents.
