The SOS response in Eubacteria is a global response
to DNA damage and its activation is increasingly associated
with the movement of mobile genetic elements.
The temperate phage GIL01 is induced into
lytic growth using the host’s SOS response to genomic
stress. LexA, the SOS transcription factor, represses
bacteriophage transcription by binding to
a set of SOS boxes in the lysogenic promoter P1.
However, LexA is unable to efficiently repress GIL01
transcription unless the small phage-encoded protein
gp7 is also present. We found that gp7 forms a
stable complex with LexA that enhances LexA binding
to phage and cellular SOS sites and interferes
with RecA-mediated auto-cleavage of LexA, the key
step in the initiation of the SOS response. Gp7 did
not bind DNA, alone or when complexed with LexA.
Our findings suggest that gp7 induces a LexA conformation
that favors DNA binding but disfavors LexA
auto-cleavage, thereby altering the dynamics of the
cellular SOS response. This is the first account of an
accessory factor interacting with LexA to regulate
transcription.

Bacteriophage Adherence to Mucus Mediates Preventive Protection against Pathogenic Bacteria
Almeida, Gabriel M. F.; Laanto, Elina; Ashrafi, Roghaleh; Sundberg, Lotta-Riina (American Society for Microbiology, 2019)Metazoans were proposed to host bacteriophages on their mucosal surfaces in a symbiotic relationship, where phages provide an external immunity against bacterial infections and the metazoans provide phages a medium for ... -
Silent Rain : Does the atmosphere-mediated connectivity between microbiomes influence bacterial evolutionary rates?
Jalasvuori, Matti (Oxford University Press, 2020)Air carries a vast number of bacteria and viruses over great distances all the time. This leads into the continuous introduction of foreign genetic material to local established microbial communities. In this perspective, ... -
Microencapsulation of Enteric Bacteriophages in a pH-Responsive Solid Oral Dosage Formulation Using a Scalable Membrane Emulsification Process
Vinner, Gurinder K.; Richards, Kerry; Leppänen, Miika; Sagona, Antonia P.; Malik 1, Danish J. (MDPI, 2019)A scalable low-shear membrane emulsification process was used to produce microencapsulated Escherichia coli-phages in a solid oral dosage form.

Small things matter : of phages and antibiotic resistance conferring plasmids
Mattila, Sari (University of Jyväskylä, 2016)Viruses and plasmids are small units of genetic material dependent on cells either transiently or continuously. Intriguingly, stories of these small entities intertwine in antibiotic resistance crisis. Horizontal gene ... -
