Project description:RNA-sequencing was preformed from RNA isolated from bacteria infected with the bacteriophage. In order to reveal the phage-host interactions between φR1-37 and Yersinia enterocolitica throughout the phage infection cycle, both the transcriptomes were scrutinized during all the stages of infection.
Project description:We observed the expression profile of the total mRNA in crp (TTHA1437) deletion mutant strain of Thermus thermophilus HB8 during infection of bacteriophage ϕYS40. Keywords: time course, bacteriophage, infection, CRP, cAMP receptor protein, deletion mutant
Project description:Sequence overlap between two genes is common across all genomes, with viruses having particularly high proportions of these gene overlaps. The natural biological function and effects on fitness of gene overlaps are not fully understood and their effects on gene cluster and genome-level refactoring are unknown.The model bacteriophage φX174 genome displays complex sequence architecture in which ~26% of nucleotides are involved in encoding more than one gene. In this study we use an engineered φX174 phage containing a genome with all gene overlaps removed.
Here we have temporally measured the proteome of a synthetically engineered and wild-type φX174 during infection. We find that almost half of all phage proteins (5/11) have abnormal expression profiles after genome modularisation.
