| Escherichia coli host ribosomal protein S1 | S1 acts as a cofactor of the T4 phage RegB endoribonuclease. S1 binds RNA substrates and promotes cleavage by RegB. Direct interaction between phage T4 protein RIII and Escherichia coli host ribosomal protein S1 inhibits endoribonuclease RegB activation. The 70 kDa RIII protein mainly targets the 5th domain of S1. RIII interacts with S1 at a molar ratio of 1:1 | Tequatrovirus T4 |

| additional information | during T4 phage infection, S1 host protein acts as a cofactor of the T4 phage RegB endoribonuclease. S1 binds RNA substrates and promotes cleavage by RegB of the partially structured AG-rich RNAs and unstructured RNA having an 11-nucleotide-conserved sequence. The minimal domain combination required for stimulation of RegB nuclease is D4-D5, whereas the peptide containing all C-terminal domains (D3-D4-D5-D6) stimulates RegB to the same extent as the full-length protein | Tequatrovirus T4 |

| physiological function | protein RIII is known as a cytoplasmic antiholin, which plays a role in the lysis inhibition function of T4. Protein RIII also acts as a viral effector protein mainly targeting Escherichia coli host S1 RNA-binding domains that are central for all the activities of this multifunctional protein. ribosomal protein S1 is the largest (61 kDa) flexible protein of the ribosome complex. The S1-RIII interaction prevents the S1-dependent activation of endoribonuclease RegB. During T4 phage infection, S1 acts as a cofactor of the T4 phage RegB endoribonuclease. S1 binds RNA substrates and promotes cleavage by RegB of the partially structured AG-rich RNAs and unstructured RNA having an 11-nucleotide-conserved sequence. The minimal domain combination required for stimulation of RegB nuclease is D4-D5, whereas the peptide containing all C-terminal domains (D3-D4-D5-D6) stimulates RegB to the same extent as the full-length protein. The activity of RNase RegB is limited to the early period of T4 infection, it is deactivated by protein RIII | Tequatrovirus T4 |
