Structural studies of the nucleus-like assembly of jumbo bacteriophage 201φ2-1

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The jumbo phages encode proteins that assemble to form a nucleus-like compartment in infected cells. Here we report the cryo-EM structure and biochemistry characterization of gp105, a protein that is encoded by the jumbo phage 201φ2-1 and is involved in ...

Beyond bacterial defences: the role of lysozyme in cancer

Clinical and Translational Medicine, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Lysozyme (LYZ) is a multi‐functional secreted factor that encompasses both antibacterial and immunomodulatory functions. Emerging evidence highlights its complex role in tumour progression by directly influencing tumour cells and modulating the immune microenvironment.

p62/SQSTM1 Condensation Modulates Mitochondrial Clustering to Participate in Mitochondrial Quality Control

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.
In normal PINK1/Parkin‐mediated mitophagy, unlike OPTN (the mitophagy receptor that mediates ATG8‐labeled autophagosome recruitment onto ubiquitinated mitochondria), p62 mediates the clustering of ubiquitinated mitochondria to form the “grape‐like” aggregates with ubiquitin.

Mapping protein–protein interactions by mass spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 1, Page 69-106, January/February 2026.
Abstract Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are essential for numerous biological activities, including signal transduction, transcription control, and metabolism. They play a pivotal role in the organization and function of the proteome, and their perturbation is associated with various diseases, such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and infectious ...

Distinct Phage‐Encoded Enzymes for Substitution of Deoxythymidine by Deoxyuridine in Phage Genomes

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 46, December 11, 2025.
Distinct enzymes including dCTP deaminases (Dcds), dTMP phosphatases (Dtms), and dTTP pyrophosphatases (Dtt) are found to be responsible for dU‐DNA biosynthesis in the phages PBS1, DSS3_VP1, and PhiR1‐37. Both PhiR1‐37‐derived and synthetic dU‐DNA are resistant to cleavage by restriction enzymes and Cas12a nuclease targeting dT‐containing sites.

The Biology of Nucleus-Forming Jumbo Phages

Annual Review of Genetics
Nucleus-forming jumbo bacteriophages display a surprisingly intricate replication cycle inside of bacterial host cells, challenging the long-standing paradigm of prokaryotic simplicity. The phage nucleus encloses phage DNA in a protein shell, strictly uncouples transcription from translation, and facilitates selective protein import and messenger RNA ...
