<i>Mycobacterium</i> phage Butters-encoded proteins contribute to host defense against viral attack

2020-04-28

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> A diverse set of prophage-mediated mechanisms protecting bacterial hosts from infection has been recently uncovered within Cluster N mycobacteriophages. In that context, we unveil a novel defense mechanism in Cluster N prophage Butters. By using bioinformatics analyses, phage plating efficiency experiments, microscopy, and immunoprecipitation assays, we show that Butters genes located in the cen...
