Lambda-prophage induction modeled as a cooperative failure mode of lytic repression
, 2008 We analyze a system-level model for lytic repression of lambda-phage in E. coli using reliability theory, showing that the repressor circuit comprises 4 redundant components whose failure mode is prophage induction.

A Bifunctional Protease Cleaves the Leader Peptide in the Biosynthesis of Class I Microviridins
ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 7, 14 April 2026.Biochemical characterization of the peptidase candidate NosP reveals bifunctional endo‐ and aminopeptidase activity in the leader peptide removal of class I microviridins from Nostoc punctiforme. The discovery of the first leader‐processing peptidase from microviridin biosynthesis may pave the way for the efficient production and bioengineering of ...
