(2013-11-06)Bacteriophages infect and kill bacterial cells. During the infection cycle, a phage attaches to the host cell surface, then ejects its DNA into the cytoplasm, where its progenies are subsequently assembled. The final ...

(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, ...

(2013-09-26)The lambda lysis genes Rz and Rz1 play an important role at the final step of bacterial cell lysis. Rz encodes an integral inner membrane protein and Rz1 encodes an outer membrane lipoprotein. These two proteins form a ...

(2017-12-01)Cellular decision making is a ubiquitous process among all life forms, and a key step that organisms take to integrate the environmental signals to choose an optimal response to improve their overall fitness. The genetic ...

In this study, we use the bacteriophage lambda and E. coli model system to examine the effects of lambda DNA replication on the lysis-lysogeny decision. In the lytic pathway, lambda’s structural and lysis genes are rapidly ...
