A family of lanthipeptides with anti- #phage function.

Lanthivirin gene clusters in Actinobacteria yield matured peptides that block phage DNA replication, revealing new anti‑phage natural products.

2'3'-cGAMP-induced membrane shearing promotes broad antiphage immunity.

CBASS 3TM‑SAVED effectors form cGAMP‑linked filaments that shear membranes and induce death.

How do #bacteriophage life history strategies influence host invasion & inter- #phage competition in #biofilms? This study shows that spatial structure shapes invasion success, favoring temperate phages over lytic ones when diffusion is limited @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/47Aripq

Molecular basis for anti-jumbo phage #immunity by AVAST type 5.

Avs5 detects an early jumbo‑phage activator and halts infection by rapidly hydrolyzing NAD+.

An article published in the journal "Microbiology Spectrum" reports the results of experiments based on the use of genetically modified #bacteriophage #viruses to combat strains of Escherichia coli #bacteria that developed resistance to various antibiotics. These findings offer a way to neutralize these bacteria and new insights into the interactions between bacteriophages and bacteria.

We have a new preprint describing a method for #bacteriophage phylogenetics and comparative genomics.

Maybe useful for those interested in all the amazing #phages out there and their bizarre mosaic genomes

21y after collecting data during my PhD, we got to publish the structure of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase from #bacteriophage phi8!
Unsolvable in 2003 but #AlphaFold2 model worked!

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-75213-7

Lesson learned: never discard data!

Great job Kamel El Omari getting it over the line!

"The number of viruses that we found is absolutely wild. We found many viruses that we know very little about and many others that we have never seen before. It's amazing how much untapped biodiversity is all around us. And you don't even have to go far to find it; it's right under our noses," said Dr Erica M. Hartmann.

i did a Summer internship studying homing introns in college. big advance!

"This work demonstrates how a homing endonuclease can be deployed in interference competition among viruses and provide a relative fitness advantage. Given the ubiquity of homing endonucleases, this selective advantage likely has widespread evolutionary implications in diverse plasmid and viral competition as well as virus-host interactions."
