The Cro repressor encoded by the cro gene in bacteriophage F1F1F1S1F1F1F10 is known to repress lysogeny and permit lytic growth. This means that the Cro repressor promotes the viral life cycle that results in the host cell being lysed, which releases virions that can infect other cells. The opposite of this would be the cI repressor, which promotes lysogeny and represses lytic growth.
