CII is a very unstable protein in E. coli; it is degraded by a specific protease called FtsH (HflB), encoded by the hfl gene.

Cells lacking the hfl gene (and thus FtsH) almost always form lysogens upon infection by lambda Then What is fate of cI-?

N protein prevents termination in the early operons of lambda and it works together with the products of the bacterial genes nusA, nusB, nusE, and nusG.

N binds to RNA transcribed from DNA containing a nut sequence. Thus, once RNA polymerase has passed a nut site, N binds to the RNA and from there is loaded on to the polymerase itself. In this state, the polymerase is resistant to the terminators found just beyond the N and cro genes.
