Frequency and Fitness Consequences of Bacteriophage Φ6 Host Range Mutations
Viruses readily mutate and gain the ability to infect novel hosts, but few data are available regarding the number of possible host range-expanding mutations allowing infection of any given novel host, and the fitness consequences of these mutations on original and novel hosts. To gain insight into the process of host range expansion, we isolated and sequenced 69 independent mutants of the dsRN...
متن کاملLysogeny and bacteriophage host range within the Burkholderia cepacia complex.
The Burkholderia cepacia complex comprises a group of nine closely related species that have emerged as life-threatening pulmonary pathogens in immunocompromised patients, particularly individuals with cystic fibrosis or chronic granulomatous disease. Attempts to explain the genomic plasticity, adaptability and virulence of the complex have paid little attention to bacteriophages, particularly ...
متن کاملMutator Mutations in Bacteriophage
Temperature-sensitive mutations of bacteriophage TS gene 42 produce diverse effects upon spontaneous mutation rates. G:C+ A:T transition rates are increased, often strongly; frameshift mutation rates are weakly increased; A:T+ G:C transition rates (and perhaps also A:T+ Py:Pu transversion rates) are decreased; and one G: C --f Py: Pu transversion rate is also decreased. These results, together ...
متن کاملMutations of Bacterial Viruses Affecting Their Host Range.
W HEN susceptible bacteria are spread on a solid culture medium with a large amount of a bacterialvirus, complete lysis occurs after incubation, except for the appearance in some cases of colonies consisting of virus-resistant cells. These are the descendants of bacteria that had undergone a mutation from virus-sensitivity to virus-resistance prior to the action of the virus (LURI.A and DELBRUC...
متن کاملBacteriophage T4-induced shut-off of host-specific translation.
To study the mechanism by which bacteriophage T4 inhibits the synthesis of inducible host enzymes we measured the formation of beta-galactosidase from preformed lac mRNA. Beta-Galactosidase was induced with isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside in the presence of 7-azatryptophan, a tryptophan analogue that is incorporated into proteins and renders the beta-galactosidase formed inactive. The ac...
