The unique two-component tail sheath of giant Pseudomonas phage PaBG.

Virology, 2018
Myoviridae bacteriophages have a special contractile tail machine that facilitates high viral infection efficiency. The major component of this machine is a tail sheath that contracts during infection, allowing delivery of viral DNA into the host cell. Tail sheaths of Myoviridae phages are composed of multiple copies of individual proteins.

Complete Genome Sequence of the Giant Pseudomonas Phage Lu11 [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2012
ABSTRACT The complete genome sequence of the giant Pseudomonas phage Lu11 was determined, comparing 454 and Sanger sequencing. The double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) genome is 280,538 bp long and encodes 391 open reading frames (ORFs) and no tRNAs.

Complete Genome Sequence of the Giant Virus OBP and Comparative Genome Analysis of the Diverse ϕKZ-Related Phages [PDF]

Journal of Virology, 2011
ABSTRACT The 283,757-bp double-stranded DNA genome of Pseudomonas fluorescens phage OBP shares a general genomic organization with Pseudomonas aeruginosa phage EL. Comparison of this genomic organization, assembled in syntenic genomic blocks interspersed with hyperplastic regions of

Isolation and Characterization of Novel Giant Stenotrophomonas maltophilia Phage φSMA5 [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2005
ABSTRACT Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is one of the most prevalent opportunistic bacteria causing nosocomial infections. It has become problematic because most of the isolates are resistant to multiple antibiotics, and therefore, development of phage therapy has attracted strong attention. In this study, eight

The Dynamics of Synthesis and Localization of Jumbo Phage RNA Polymerases inside Infected Cells

Viruses, 2023
A nucleus-like structure composed of phage-encoded proteins and containing replicating viral DNA is formed in Pseudomonas aeruginosa cells infected by jumbo bacteriophage phiKZ. The PhiKZ genes are transcribed independently from host RNA polymerase (RNAP)

Refining the transcriptional landscapes for distinct clades of virulent phages infecting Pseudomonas aeruginosa

bioRxiv, 2023
The introduction of high-throughput sequencing has resulted in a surge of available bacteriophage genomes, unveiling their tremendous genomic diversity. However, our current understanding of the complex transcriptional mechanisms that dictate their gene ...

Complete Genome Sequence of the Novel Giant Pseudomonas Phage PaBG [PDF]

Genome Announcements, 2014
ABSTRACT The novel giant Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage PaBG was isolated from a water sample of the ultrafreshwater Lake Baikal. We report the complete genome sequence of this Myoviridae bacteriophage, comprising 258,139 bp of double-stranded DNA containing 308 predicted open

Maturation of Pseudo-nucleus Compartment in P. aeruginosa, Infected with Giant PhiKZ Phage [PDF]

Viruses, 2020
Bacteria develop various defense mechanisms against stresses, including the bacteriophage infection. The giant phiKZ phage infection induced the appearance of a pseudo-nucleus inside the bacterial cytoplasm. Here, we used FISH, electron tomography and analytical electron microscopy to study the morphology of this unique nucleus-like shell and to ...

Plankton-infecting relatives of herpesviruses clarify the evolutionary trajectory of giant viruses

bioRxiv, 2022
DNA viruses have a major influence on the ecology and evolution of cellular organisms, but their overall diversity and evolutionary trajectories remain elusive. Here, we performed a phylogeny-guided genome-resolved metagenomic survey of the sunlit oceans

Mass Spectral Analyses of Salmonella Myovirus SPN3US Reveal Conserved and Divergent Themes in Proteolytic Maturation of Large Icosahedral Capsids

Viruses, 2023
Salmonella myovirus SPN3US has a T = 27 capsid composed of >50 different gene products, including many that are packaged along with the 240 kb genome and ejected into the host cell.
