Conserved jumbo phage factors required for protein import into a phage nucleus
bioRxivBacteriophages use diverse mechanisms to evade anti-phage defenses systems. ΦKZ-like jumbo phages assemble a proteinaceous nucleus-like compartment that excludes antagonistic host nucleases, while internalizing DNA replication and transcription ...

A cytoskeletal vortex drives phage nucleus rotation during jumbo phage replication in E. coli [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2021 AbstractVortex-like arrays of cytoskeletal filaments that drive cytoplasmic streaming and nucleus rotation have been identified in eukaryotes, but similar structures have not been described in prokaryotes. The only known example of a rotating intracellular body in prokaryotic cells occurs when nucleus-forming jumbo phages infect Pseudomonas.

Isolation protocol of jumbo phage from winter grass soil [PDF]
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract Jumbo phage can isolated by two different methods and protocols. It depends on size, phage species, substrate sources, environment, media and tools. Each method has positive and negative results within each factors. The research aimed to determine the suitable protocol to isolated the jumbo phages from winter grass soil during ...

Jumbo phage-mediated transduction of genomic islands. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S ABacteria acquire new genes by horizontal gene transfer (HGT), typically mediated by mobile genetic elements (MGEs). While plasmids, bacteriophages and certain integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs) are well characterized, the broader diversity of MGEs remains poorly understood. Here, we propagated the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 in the

A Novel Jumbo Phage PhiMa05 Inhibits Harmful Microcystis sp. [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Microcystis poses a concern because of its potential contribution to eutrophication and production of microcystins (MCs). Phage treatment has been proposed as a novel biocontrol method for Microcystis. Here, we isolated a lytic cyanophage named PhiMa05 with high efficiency against MCs-producing Microcystis strains.

In-Gel Isolation and Characterization of Large (and Other) Phages
Viruses, 2020 We review some aspects of the rapid isolation of, screening for and characterization of jumbo phages, i.e., phages that have dsDNA genomes longer than 200 Kb.

Complete Genome Sequence of Klebsiella pneumoniae Jumbo Phage Miami
Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2021 Bacteriophage Miami infects Klebsiella pneumoniae , a Gram-negative pathogen that is becoming an increasing threat to public health due to its multidrug resistance. Here, we describe the annotation of the 253,383-bp jumbo phage Miami genome sequence and its similarity to other myophages.

3D structure of three jumbo phage heads
Journal of General Virology, 2020 Jumbo phages are bacteriophages that carry more than 200 kbp of DNA. In this study we characterized two jumbo phages (ΦRSL2 and ΦXacN1) and one semi-jumbo phage (ΦRP13) at the structural level by cryo-electron microscopy. Focusing on their capsids, three-dimensional structures of the heads at resolutions ranging from 16 to 9 Å were calculated. Based on

A family of novel immune systems targets early infection of nucleus-forming jumbo phages
bioRxiv, 2022 Jumbo bacteriophages of the ⌽KZ-like family are characterized by large genomes (>200 kb) and the remarkable ability to assemble a proteinaceous nucleus-like structure.
