Abstract excerpt
The tsx-206 allele encodes an altered Tsx protein, Tsx-206, that can no longer function as the T6 receptor. We show here that this allele also confers resistance to the Tsx-specific phages H1, H3, H8, K9, K18 and Ox1 but not to colicin K. The Tsx-206 protein still mediates the efficient permeation of deoxyadenosine across the outer membrane at low substrate concentration. A host-range mutant of phage T6, T6h3.1,...
