Distinct patterns of mutational sensitivity for λ resistance and maltodextrin transport in Escherichia coli LamB.
Microbial genomics - 1 Apr 2020
Andrews Bryan, Fields Stanley
Abstract excerpt
Bacteria can evade cohabiting phages through mutations in phage receptors, but these mutations may come at a cost if they disrupt the receptor's native cellular function. To investigate the relationship between these two conflicting activities, we generated sequence-function maps of Escherichia coli LamB with respect to sensitivity to phage λ and transport of maltodextrin. By comparing 413 missense mutations...
