  ABSTRACT  
 
A new Salmonella enterica phage, Det7, was isolated from sewage and shown by electron microscopy to belong to the myoviridae morphogroup of bacteriophages. Det7 contains a 75 kDa protein with 50 % overall sequence identity to the tailspike endorhamnosidase of podovirus P22. Adsorption of myoviruses to their bacterial hosts is normally mediated by long and short tail fibers attached to a contractile tail, whereas podoviruses do not contain fibers, but attach to host cells through stubby tailspikes attached to a very short, non-contractile tail. The amino-terminal 150 residues of the Det7 protein lack homology to the P22 tailspike and are probably responsible for binding to the base plate of the myoviral tail. Det7 tailspike lacking this putative particle-binding domain was purified from E. coli and well-diffracting crystals of the protein were obtained. The structure, solved by molecular replacement and refined at 1.6 A resolution, is very similar to that of bacteriophage P22 tailspike. Fluorescence titrations with an octasaccharide suggest Det7 tailspike to bind its receptor lipopolysaccharide somewhat less tightly than the P22 tailspike. The Det7 tailspike is even more resistant to thermal unfolding than the already exceptionally stable homologue from P22. Folding and assembly of both trimeric proteins are equally temperature-sensitive and equally slow. Despite the close structural, biochemical, and sequence similarities between both proteins, Det7 tailspike lacks both carboxy-terminal cysteines previously proposed to form a transient disulfide during P22 tailspike assembly. Our data suggest receptor-binding module exchange between podoviruses and myoviruses in the course of bacteriophage evolution.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
