Prophinder: a computational tool for prophage prediction in prokaryotic genomes
UNLABELLED Prophinder is a prophage prediction tool coupled with a prediction database, a web server and web service. Predicted prophages will help to fill the gaps in the current sparse phage sequence space, which should cover an estimated 100 million species. Systematic and reliable predictions will enable further studies of prophages contribution to the bacteriophage gene pool and to better ...
متن کاملThe Defective Prophage Pool of Escherichia coli O157: Prophage–Prophage Interactions Potentiate Horizontal Transfer of Virulence Determinants
Bacteriophages are major genetic factors promoting horizontal gene transfer (HGT) between bacteria. Their roles in dynamic bacterial genome evolution have been increasingly highlighted by the fact that many sequenced bacterial genomes contain multiple prophages carrying a wide range of genes. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 is the most striking case. A sequenced strain (O157 Sakai) poss...
متن کاملGenome Sequence of a Klebsiella pneumoniae Sequence Type 258 Isolate with Prophage-Encoded K. pneumoniae Carbapenemase
We present the draft genome sequence of a Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase (KPC)-producing sequence type 258 (ST258) K. pneumoniae strain, ST258_FL. Uniquely, strain ST258_FL harbors two copies of the blaKPC gene on the chromosome, one of which is integrated into a prophage.
متن کاملCutting out the φC31 prophage
To establish a lysogenic lifestyle, the temperate bacteriophage φC31 integrates its genome into the chromosome of its Streptomyces host, by site-specific recombination between attP (the attachment site in the phage DNA) and attB (the chromosomal attachment site). This reaction is promoted by a phage-encoded serine recombinase Int. To return to the lytic lifestyle, the prophage excises its DNA b...
متن کاملDevelopment of a prophage typing system and analysis of prophage carriage in Streptococcus pneumoniae.
The frequency of prophage carriage was tested in a collection of 108 clinical isolates of Streptococcus pneumoniae. A PCR-based assay was developed to allow classification of the prophage into the three groups recently identified according to genome comparisons (P. Romero, N. Croucher, N. L. Hiller, F. Z. Hu, G. D. Ehrlich, S. D. Bentley, E. García, and T. J. Mitchell, submitted for publication...
