Bcep176 and Bglu421 - two novel phages contributing to the understanding of pathogenicity and diversity in Burkholderiacae
(2006-07-11)Phage, although but a fraction of the size of bacteria, can, by lysogenic conversion, transform a harmless bacterium into a ruthless pathogen (3). This paper will discuss two new lysogenic dsDNA tailed phages of Burkholderia. ... -
Characterization of the Bacteriophage Lambda Holin and Its Membrane Lesion
(2011-10-21)Bacteriophage holins are a diverse group of proteins that are responsible for the spontaneous and specifically-timed triggering of host cell lysis. The best-studied holin, S105 of phage lambda, is known to form lesions, ... -
The Infection of Freshwater Cyanobacteria by Their Phages
(2007-09-17)Phage lysis of cyanobacteria could significantly influence nutrient availability in aquatic systems. We examined the requirements of phage infection in freshwater cyanobacteria and identified several factors that affected ... -
The phiX174 Lysis Protein E: a Protein Inhibitor of the Conserved Translocase MraY
(2010-07-14)Most bacteriophages release progeny virions at the end of the infection cycle by lysis of the host. Large phages with double-stranded DNA genomes use a multigene strategy based on holins, small membrane proteins, and ... -
Regulation of Phage Lysis: Diverse Strategies and Targets
(2016-08-01)Most of the large, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) bacteriophages infecting Gram-negative hosts utilize multi-protein strategy to lyse the three layers of the host cell envelop: the inner membrane (IM), the peptidoglycan (PG), ... -
SAR Endolysin Regulation in dsDNA Phage Lysis of Gram-Negative Hosts
(2012-02-14)SAR endolysins are a recently discovered class of muralytic enzymes that are regulated by dynamic membrane topology. They are synthesized as enzymatically inactive integral membrane proteins during the phage infection cycle ...
