Holins: Form and Function in Bacteriophage Lysis

FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 1995
During the lytic cycle of most bacteriophages, a phage-encoded peptidoglycan-degrading activity is elaborated. At least four entirely distinct types of enzymes fulfill this role and are given the generic name 'endolysin'. Endolysins characterized to date are synthesized without a signal sequence and thus accumulate fully folded and active in the ...

Identification of the Burkholderia pseudomallei Bacteriophage ST79 Lysis Gene Cassette [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Microbiology, 2016
AimsTo identify and characterize the lysis gene cassette from the bacteriophage ST79 that lyses Burkholderia pseudomallei.Methods and resultsApproximately 1·5 kb of ST79 lysis genes were identified from the phage genome data.

Lysis protein T of bacteriophage T4

Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1992
Lysis protein T of phage T4 is required to allow the phage's lysozyme to reach the murein layer of the cell envelope and cause lysis. Using fusions of the cloned gene t with that of the Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase or a fragment of the gene for the outer membrane protein OmpA, it was possible to identify T as an integral protein of the plasma ...

Selection for lysis inhibition in bacteriophage

Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1990
For Escherichia coli cells that have been infected by T-even bacteriophages (phages T2, T4, and T6), the adsorption of a second T-even phage results in an increase in the length of the original phage infection and an associated increase in the number of phages produced by the same infected cell. This is a phage encoded response called lysis inhibition.

Lysis defective mutants of bacteriophage lambda: On the role of the S function in lysis

Virology, 1971
Abstract Evidence is presented for three effects of expression of the S cistron of λ on host cells: cessation of respiration, alteration in the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane, and hydrolysis of phospholipid. Interference with respiratory metabolism and hydrolysis of phospholipid appear to be secondary events related to some change in the ...
