Moonlighting bacteriophage proteins derepress staphylococcal pathogenicity islands
Tormo Más, María Ángeles; Mir, Ignacio; Shrestha, Archana; Tallent, Sandra M.; Campoy Sánchez, Susana; Lasa Uzcudun, Íñigo
; Barbé, Jordi; Novick, Richard P.; Christie, Gail E.; Penadés, José R. (Nature Research, 2010)
Artículo / Artikulua 
Staphylococcal superantigen-carrying pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) are discrete, chromosomally integrated units of ∼15 kilobases that are induced by helper phages to excise and replicate. SaPI DNA is then efficiently ... -
RinA controls phage-mediated packaging and transfer of virulence genes in gram-positive bacteria
Ferrer, María Desamparados; Quiles Puchalt, Nuria; Harwich, Michael D.; Tormo Más, María Ángeles; Campoy Sánchez, Susana; Barbé, Jordi; Lasa Uzcudun, Íñigo ; Novick, Richard P.; Christie, Gail E.; Penadés, José R. (Oxford University Press, 2011)
Artículo / Artikulua
Phage-mediated transfer of microbial genetic elements plays a crucial role in bacterial life style and evolution. In this study, we identify the RinA family of phage-encoded proteins as activators required for transcription ... -
A super-family of transcriptional activators regulates bacteriophage packaging and lysis in Gram-positive bacteria
Quiles Puchalt, Nuria; Tormo Más, María Ángeles; Campoy Sánchez, Susana; Toledo Arana, Alejandro ; Monedero, Vicente; Lasa Uzcudun, Íñigo ; Novick, Richard P.; Christie, Gail E.; Penadés, José R. (Oxford University Press, 2013)
Artículo / Artikulua
The propagation of bacteriophages and other mobile genetic elements requires exploitation of the phage mechanisms involved in virion assembly and DNA packaging. Here, we identified and characterized four different families ...
