First steps of bacteriophage SPP1 entry into Bacillus subtilis
2012, VirologyCitation Excerpt :The effects on ΔΨ of other phages infecting the same host are not known. Therefore we studied accumulation of TPP+ by YB886 cells infected in parallel with siphovirus SPP1 (Riva et al., 1968), podovirus ϕ29 (Anderson et al., 1966), and myovirus SP01 (Okubo et al., 1964) (Fig. 1A). Phage SPP1-induced depolarization starts within a few seconds after phage addition and proceeds very rapidly, the maximal depolarization being achieved at ~ 1 min post-infection (p.i.) (Fig. 1B).
Genomics of Staphylococcal Twort-like Phages - Potential Therapeutics of the Post-Antibiotic Era
2012, Advances in Virus ResearchCitation Excerpt :Typically, the ends of these molecules contain long, several thousand base pairs, exact (nonpermuted), direct terminal repeats (LTRs). Homologous recombination between the LTRs enables the circularization of infecting phage DNA (Okubo et al., 1964; reviewed by Casjens and Gilcrease, 2009). Virion DNA molecules of SPO1 and Listeria monocytogenes phage A511 have previously been shown to have LTRs of 13,185 and 3,125 bp, respectively (Klumpp et al., 2008; Stewart et al., 2009a).
Roles of genes 38, 39, and 40 in shutoff of host biosyntheses during infection of Bacillus subtilis by bacteriophage SPO1
2009, VirologyCitation Excerpt :In each case, the zero minute sample was obtained from a parallel uninfected culture. Since SPO1 has hydroxymethyluracil in place of thymine in its DNA (Okubo et al., 1964), pulse-labeling with [methyl-3H] thymidine specifically measures the rate of host DNA synthesis. Rates of RNA synthesis were measured by pulse-labeling for five minutes with [5-3H] uridine, precipitating with TCA, and counting the precipitate.
