A bacterial CARD–NLR-like immune system controls the release of gene transfer agents

By Emma Banks, Pavol Bardy, Ngat T. Tran, Phuong Nguyen Verified, Phương Nguyên, Boris Stojilković, Kevin Gozzi, Abbas Maqbool, Tung B. K. Le, Tùng Lê
| Nature Verified
Abstract Bacteria use immune systems to detect and defend against mobile genetic elements including phages. Gene transfer agents (GTAs) are domesticated prophages with phage-like characteristics including the ability to induce host cell lysis for gene transfer. Whether GTAs elicit or avoid bacterial immune systems is poorly understood.

Conformational changes of baseplate regulating tail contraction of Staphylococcus phage 812

|
By Pavol Bardy, Roman Baška, Maryna Zlatohurska
| BioRxiv
Abstract Phages with contractile tails employ elaborate mechanisms to penetrate bacterial cell walls and deliver their genomes into the host cytoplasm. Here, we used cryo-EM to show that the baseplate of phage 812, a member of the Kayvirus genus, which infects Gram-positive Staphylococcus strains, is formed of a core, wedge modules, and baseplate arms carrying receptor-binding proteins 1 and 2 and tripod complexes.

Large-scale capsid-mediated mobilisation of bacterial genomic DNA in the gut microbiome - Nature Communications

|
By Colin Buttimer, Pavol Bardy, Conor HiLl, Colin Hill
| Nature Verified
Abstract Transducing bacteriophage and gene transfer agents (GTAs) are constrained by the structural limits of their capsids, which determine the maximum length of host DNA they can package. Here, we utilise nanopore sequencing of intact, capsid-packaged DNA molecules to recover full-length reads, thereby enabling the precise identification of encapsidated DNA and its bacterial origin.
