Mobile effector proteins on phage genomes [PDF]

Bacteriophage, 2012
Bacteriophage genomes found in a range of bacterial pathogens encode a diverse array of virulence factors ranging from superantigens or pore forming lysins to numerous exotoxins. Recent studies have uncovered an entirely new class of bacterial virulence factors, called effector proteins or effector toxins, which are encoded within phage genomes that ...

Predicting genome terminus sequences of Bacillus cereus-group bacteriophage using next generation sequencing data

BMC Genomics, 2017
Background Most tailed bacteriophages (phages) feature linear dsDNA genomes. Characterizing novel phages requires an understanding of complete genome sequences, including the definition of genome physical ends.

CRISPR Immunity Drives Rapid Phage Genome Evolution in Streptococcus thermophilus

mBio, 2015
Many bacteria rely on CRISPR-Cas systems to provide adaptive immunity against phages, predation by which can shape the ecology and functioning of microbial communities.

What does the talking?: quorum sensing signalling genes discovered in a bacteriophage genome. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The transfer of novel genetic material into the genomes of bacterial viruses (phages) has been widely documented in several host-phage systems. Bacterial genes are incorporated into the phage genome and, if retained, subsequently evolve within them.

Vibrio choleraePhage K139: Complete Genome Sequence and Comparative Genomics of Related Phages [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 2002
ABSTRACTIn this report, we characterize the complete genome sequence of the temperate phage K139, which morphologically belongs to theMyoviridaephage family (P2 and 186). The prophage genome consists of 33,106 bp, and the overall GC content is 48.9%. Forty-four open reading frames were identified.

Comparative genomics of Shiga toxin encoding bacteriophages [PDF]

, 2012
Background Stx bacteriophages are responsible for driving the dissemination of Stx toxin genes (stx) across their bacterial host range. Lysogens carrying Stx phages can cause severe, lifethreatening disease and Stx toxin is an integral virulence factor.
