Cryptic-Prophage-Encoded Small Protein DicB Protects Escherichia coli from Phage Infection by Inhibiting Inner Membrane Receptor Proteins

Bacterial genomes harbor cryptic prophages that have lost genes required for induction, excision from host chromosomes, or production of phage progeny. Escherichia coli K-12 strains contain a cryptic prophage, Qin, that encodes a small RNA, DicF, and a small protein, DicB, that have been implicated...
