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

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 ...
