  2. Caudoviricetes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caudoviricetes

    However, some tailed bacteriophage genomes can vary quite significantly in nucleotide sequence, even among the same genus. Due to their characteristic structure and possession of potentially homologous genes, it is believed these bacteriophages possess a common origin.

  3. Type VI secretion system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_VI_secretion_system

    The phage tail-like tubule of the T6SS assembles on a structure analogous to bacteriophage baseplates. It consists of the proteins TssE, TssF, TssG, and TssK. The baseplate and phage tail-like complex interact in the bacterial cytoplasm, and then are recruited to the cell envelope by the membrane complex.

  4. Bacteriophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriophage

    Structural model at atomic resolution of bacteriophage T4 [1] The structure of a typical myovirus bacteriophage Anatomy and infection cycle of bacteriophage T4. A bacteriophage (/ b æ k ˈ t ɪər i oʊ f eɪ dʒ /), also known informally as a phage (/ ˈ f eɪ dʒ /), is a virus that infects and replicates within bacteria and archaea.

  5. Escherichia virus T4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escherichia_virus_T4

    Benzer (1955 – 1959) developed a system for studying the fine structure of the gene using bacteriophage T4 mutants defective in the rIIA and rIIB genes. [21] [22] [23] The techniques employed were complementation tests and crosses to detect recombination, particularly between deletion mutations. These genetic experiments led to the finding of ...

  6. Filamentous bacteriophage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filamentous_bacteriophage

    Assembled major coat protein subunits in Ff (fd, f1, M13) filamentous bacteriophage (genus Inovirus), exploded view. Filamentous phage virion--schematic views. Filamentous bacteriophages are among the simplest living organisms known, with far fewer genes than the classical tailed bacteriophages studied by the phage group in the mid-20th century.

  7. Virion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virion

    Tailed bacteriophage structure: (1) head, (2) tail, (3) DNA, (4) capsid, (5) collar, (6) sheath, (7) tail fibres, (8) spikes, (9) base plate. In some groups of viruses - such as the class Caudoviricetes ("tail viruses") and the genus Tupanvirus - the capsid carries an appendage called the "tail". The tail of the Caudoviricetes is usually ...

  8. Phage display - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_display

    Applications of phage display technology include determination of interaction partners of a protein (which would be used as the immobilised phage "bait" with a DNA library consisting of all coding sequences of a cell, tissue or organism) so that the function or the mechanism of the function of that protein may be determined. [11]

  9. P1 phage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P1_phage

    P1 is a temperate bacteriophage that infects Escherichia coli and some other bacteria. When undergoing a lysogenic cycle the phage genome exists as a plasmid in the bacterium [1] unlike other phages (e.g. the lambda phage) that integrate into the host DNA. P1 has an icosahedral head containing the DNA attached to a contractile tail with six ...
