(2012-10-19)Lysis in cells infected with the ssRNA phage Qbeta is effected by the A2 protein. It was previously shown that a single copy of A2 assembled on the surface of the Qbeta virion inhibited the activity of MurA, which catalyzes ...

(2022-03-17)Bacteriophages are being reevaluated for their therapeutic potential, however, the pathways and mechanisms guiding genome transfer from the phage capsid to the host cytoplasm, a critical step in the phage infection cycle, ...

(2021-07-26)Single-stranded RNA bacteriophages (ssRNA phages) infect Gram-negative bacteria via a single maturation protein (Mat), which attaches to a retractile pilus of the host. In this thesis work, I explored interactions between ...

(2020-04-21)Single-stranded (ss) RNA viruses infect all domains of life. Qβ, an ssRNA phage specific for Escherichia coli, has a near T=3 icosahedral lattice of coat proteins assembled around the genomic RNA (gRNA). In this work, the ...
