Structure and Function of the Branched Receptor-Binding Complex of Bacteriophage CBA120

Petr Leiman, Sergii Buth, Sergey Nazarov, Michel Plattner, Nikolai Prokhorov

Bacteriophages recognize their host cells with the help of tail fiber and tailspike proteins that bind, cleave, or modify certain structures on the cell surface. The spectrum of ligands to which the tail fibers and tailspikes can bind is the primary determ ...

Branched Lateral Tail Fiber Organization in T5-Like Bacteriophages DT57C and DT571/2 is Revealed by Genetic and Functional Analysis

Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira, Nikolai Prokhorov

The T5-like siphoviruses DT57C and DT571/2, isolated from horse feces, are very closely related to each other, and most of their structural proteins are also nearly identical to T5 phage. Their LTFs (L-shaped tail fibers), however, are composed of two prot ...

Structure of the T4 baseplate and its function in triggering sheath contraction

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Petr Leiman, Christopher Browning, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira, Nikolai Prokhorov

Several systems, including contractile tail bacteriophages, the type VI secretion system and R-type pyocins, use a multiprotein tubular apparatus to attach to and penetrate host cell membranes. This macromolecular machine resembles a stretched, coiled spri ...

Complete genome sequences of T5-related Escherichia coli bacteriophages DT57C and DT571/2 isolated from horse feces

Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira, Nikolai Prokhorov

We report the complete genome sequencing of two Escherichia coli T5-related bacteriophages, DT57C and DT571/2, isolated from the same specimen of horse feces. These two isolates share 96 % nucleotide sequence identity and can thus be considered representat ...
