Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Phages have a major impact on microbial populations. In this work, we discuss how predation, transduction, lysogeny, and phage domestication lead to symbio-centric genomic interactions between bacteria and phages, ranging from antagonistic to mutualistic.

Biomolecules, 2021 A bacteriophage switches between lytic and lysogenic life cycles. The AimR-AimP-AimX communication system is responsible for phage lysis-lysogeny decisions during the infection of Bacillus subtilis.

BMC Microbiology, 2011 Background The lysis-lysogeny decision in the temperate coliphage λ is influenced by a number of phage proteins (CII and CIII) as well as host factors, viz. Escherichia coli HflB, HflKC and HflD. Prominent among these are the transcription factor CII and

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Biochemical Studies of Lysogeny
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1960 SUMMARY 1. The physical characteristics of X virus obtained from ultra- violet induction of Escherichia coli K12X have been compared with those of X virus obtained by infection of the sensitive host E. coli W-1485. No significant differences were observed, and it has been concluded that the present evidence supports the view that the X virus from ...

In silico and in vitro exploration of a tyrosinase for biocatalytic production of catechols
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Tyrosinase from Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum is a promising biocatalyst for producing valuable catechols from monophenol substrates. This tyrosinase is uniquely suited to this due to its high monophenolase : diphenolase ratio. We combined in silico docking and in vivo kinetic characterisation of this tyrosinase with 11 industrially relevant monophenols,

Conformational Switching of Proteins on Material Surfaces Enabled by Peptide‐Oriented Adsorption
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Responsive biointerfaces could be achieved using conformationally responsive proteins; however, their interconversion can be lost upon surface adsorption. Herein, we demonstrate that the incorporation a Au binding peptide into calmodulin allows for binding control on Au wherein the protein retains conformational switching. This capability was confirmed

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The point‐of‐care diagnosis of Clostridioides difficile infection remains challenging due to reliance on slow culture and amplification‐based methods. A lab‐in‐a‐tube electrochemical biosensor integrating DNAzymes, antifouling magnetic beads, and a hierarchically structured flow cell enables amplification‐ and culture‐free detection directly in stool ...
