 * Contains OR1, OR2, and OR3, shown in reverse order (i.e. the leftmost binding region below is OR3)
 * Bi directional promoter
 * in the lambda phage, CI is to the left(PRM), cro is to the right(PR)
 * recognized by cro, CI
 * cro binding affinities: OR3, OR2 ~ OR1 (OR1 is slightly less)
 * CI binding affinites: OR1, OR2 ~ OR3 (OR3 is slightly less)
 * CI acts as a positive regulator for PRM when bound to OR2, but and a negative regulator for PR when bound to OR3
 * Forms dimers
 * Dimers associate to form tetramers, octamers etc
 * Binds to OL and OR operators in bacteriophage genome
 * Cleaved by activated RecA protein (activates with ssDNA exposure)
 * same as CI repressor, but with degredation tag on the N terminus to promote degredation
 * Binds to OR and OL operators
 * transcriptional activator, repressor
 * favors lytic pathway in lambda bacteriophage
