The tryptophan prenyltransferase ComQ from Bacillus subtilis 168 can prenylate daptomycin at Trp1
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.ComQ168 from Bacillus subtilis 168 catalyzes C‐terminal tryptophan farnesylation of ComX to generate a competence‐inducing pheromone. Recombinant ComQ168 also modifies cyclic peptides, including Daptomycin, likely at the N‐terminal tryptophan. Structural modeling highlights a C‐terminal binding region, supporting substrate promiscuity and establishing ...

The λ Life Cycle and Gene Organization
, 2013 (A) The lytic compared to the lysogenic life cycle. Invading phage can either replicate and lyse the host cell (1), or they can integrate into the host genome (2) where they replicate as part of the host genome. At a frequency of approximately 10−6 to 10−

Nitric Oxide Tunes Secreted Metabolite Bioactivity
Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.Pseudomonas aeruginosa produces phenazine metabolites that can react with nitric oxide (·NO) to form nitrosylated compounds. The formation of these metabolites results in rapid loss in P. aeruginosa viability and diminishes phenazine antimicrobial activity against other organisms, including Staphylococcus aureus. ABSTRACT The radical nitric oxide (·NO)

Exploring marine phage hunting in the greater Pensacola Beach area
, 2021 A bacteriophage (often referred to as a “phage”) is a type of virus that infects bacteria. Specific phage strains only infect specific bacterial species.

Viruses, 2020 Bacteriophage 80α is a representative of a class of temperate phages that infect Staphylococcus aureus and other Gram-positive bacteria. Many of these phages carry genes encoding toxins and other virulence factors.

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.The metabolism of ribose starts with the phosphorylation of its 5′ hydroxyl group. Salmonella typhimurium has two kinases that perform this function, namely ribose rinase (RbsK) and deoxyribose kinase (DeoK). Here we report a new ribose kinase that we named RikA. The illustration was partially created in BioRender.

Oral Phageome as Potential Modulators of Periodontal Dysbiosis. A Systematic Review
Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Introduction The oral phageome, comprising bacteriophages inhabiting the oral cavity, has been proposed as a potential modulator of periodontal health and disease. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence on interactions between bacteriophages, key periodontal bacteria, and the host in periodontitis.

Phage DNA Dynamics in Cells with Different Fates
, 2015 Bacteriophage λ begins its infection cycle by ejecting its DNA into its host Escherichia coli cell, after which either a lytic or a lysogenic pathway is followed, resulting in different cell fates.

Rhizobacteria‐Induced Systemic Priming Against Fungal Pathogens Involves Hydroxycinnamic Acid Amides
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rhizosphere, a narrow region of soil surrounding roots, contains diverse microorganisms with a composition that is distinct from the surrounding soil. Some rhizosphere bacteria can trigger a heightened state of immunity in the whole plant, termed Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR).
