Effects of mutations in phage restriction sites during escape from restriction-modification.
Restriction-modification systems are widespread genetic elements that protect bacteria from bacteriophage infections by recognizing and cleaving heterologous DNA at short, well-defined sequences called restriction sites. Bioinformatic evidence shows that restriction sites are significantly underrepresented in bacteriophage genomes, presumably because bacteriophages with fewer restriction sites ...
متن کاملPandemic Influenza A Viruses Escape from Restriction by Human MxA through Adaptive Mutations in the Nucleoprotein
The interferon-induced dynamin-like MxA GTPase restricts the replication of influenza A viruses. We identified adaptive mutations in the nucleoprotein (NP) of pandemic strains A/Brevig Mission/1/1918 (1918) and A/Hamburg/4/2009 (pH1N1) that confer MxA resistance. These resistance-associated amino acids in NP differ between the two strains but form a similar discrete surface-exposed cluster in t...
متن کاملPossible effects of Rainbow trout escape from cages on Salmo caspius in the Caspian Sea
Abstract This study was conducted to investigate the possibility of population forming of Oncorhynchus mykiss in competition with Salmo caspius on the southern shores of the Caspian Sea in Mazandaran province, Iran. One hundred fish specimens were collected seasonally from commercial purse seine from October 2017 to April 2018. Brown trout diet was analyzed and a total of 90 individuals belo...
متن کاملEscape from Prisoner’s Dilemma in RNA Phage F6
We previously examined competitive interactions among viruses by allowing the RNA phage F6 to evolve at high and low multiplicities of infection (ratio of infecting viruses to bacterial cells). Derived high-multiplicity phages were competitively advantaged relative to their ancestors during coinfection, but their fixation caused population fitness to decline. These data conform to the evolution...
متن کاملDirected mutagenesis of DNA cloned in filamentous phage: influence of hemimethylated GATC sites on marker recovery from restriction fragments.
Gapped duplex DNA molecules of recombinant genomes of filamentous phage are constructed in vitro. Denatured restriction fragments covering (part of) the precisely constructed gap are hybridized to the gapped duplex DNA molecules to form ternary duplices. The two strands of the ternary duplex molecules carry different genetic markers within the region spanned by the restriction fragment leading ...
