Bacteriophage possess a variety of auxiliary metabolic genes of bacterial origin. These proteins enable them to maximize infection efficiency, subverting bacterial metabolic processes for the purpose of viral genome replication and synthesis of the next generation of virion progeny. Here, we examined the enzymatic activity of a cyanophage MazG protein - a putative pyrophosphohydrolase previously implicated in regulation of the stringent response via reducing levels of the central alarmone molecu ...[more]
