Active removal of inhibitory components drives the flagellarType III Secretion Specificity Switch

Fabienne F. V. Chevance, Dara Niketic, DingBang Wu, Carl Ty Mellor, David F. Blair, Sherwood Casjens, Miki Kinoshita, Keiichi Namba, Tohru Minamino, Kelly T. Hughes

The paper shows that removal of inhibitory components Fluke and FlhBCCD by FliK drives the flagellar T3S specificity switch from early to late secretion.

A prophage-encoded sRNA limits lytic phage infection of adherent-invasive E. coli

Robert S. Brzozowski, Amelia K. Schmidt, Nicole L. Pershing, Annika Dankwardt, Dominick R. Faith, Alex C. Joyce, Andrew Maciver, William S. Henriques, Shelby E. Andersen, Blake Wiedenheft, Sherwood Casjens, Breck A. Duerkop, June L. Round, Patrick R. Secor

The paper identifies a prophage-encoded sRNA, svsR, that reduces lytic phage infection in AIEC by repressing maltodextrin transport genes, thereby limiting phage receptor expression.

Genome analysis of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium bacteriophage L, indicator for StySA (StyLT2III) restriction-modification system action

Julie Zaworski, Colleen M. McClung, Cristian I. Ruse, Peter Weigele, Roger W. Hendrix, Ching‐Chung Ko, Robert H. Edgar, Graham F. Hatfull, Sherwood Casjens, Elisabeth A. Raleigh

The paper reports the genome sequence of bacteriophage L, compares it to related phages, and identifies features related to restriction-modification systems in Salmonella.
