Abstract Antirepressor proteins of bacteriophages are chiefly involved in interfering with the function of the repressor protein and forcing the bacteriophage to adopt the lytic cycle. The genome of Staphylococcus aureus phage, Phi11 has already been sequenced; from the genome sequence, we amplified gp07 gene and analysed its involvement in the developmental pathway of Phi11. Our results indicate that Gp07 functions as a novel antirepressor and regulates the developmental pathway of Phi11 by enhancing the binding of the Cro repressor protein to its cognate operator. We also report our finding that the CI repressor protein of Phi11 binds to the putative operator of Gp07 and regulates its expression. We further report that S.aureus transcriptional repressor LexA and coprotease RecA play a crucial role in the lytic–lysogenic switching in Phi11. We also identified that the N-terminal domain (Bro-N) of Gp07 is actually responsible for enhancing the binding of Cro repressor to its cognate operator. Our results suggest that Phi11 prophage induction is different from other bacteriophages. This study furnishes a first-hand report regarding the regulation involved in the developmental pathway of Phi11.
