Huge thanks to my PI @vivekmutalik.bsky.social, Alexey Kazakov, @igmurray.bsky.social , and our collaborators Graham Hatfull, Michael Niederweis, Adam Deutschbauer, Katie S. Wetzel, Colin Lewis and Deborah Jacobs-Sera 🎉
Show PostWhy does it matter? 👀 Understanding how phages infect their hosts helps us design phage therapies against pathogens like M. tuberculosis and M. abscessus 💉
Show Post- Mmpl11 is a candidate secondary receptor for 14 phages. - Lsr2 (nucleoid-associated protein) is a determinant for 31 phages.
Show PostKey findings 🤯 - Determinant usage is largely independent of phage cluster. - Porins (Msp) are candidate primary receptors for 46 phages, the first proposed protein receptor for any mycobacteriophage. - Arabinogalactan is a candidate secondary receptor for 5 phages.
Show PostWhat does it take for a mycobacteriophage to infect M. smegmatis mc² 155? 🦠🗺️ We mapped it for 70 phages using genome-wide CRISPRi. Our new preprint from the Phage Foundry is out! (phagefoundry.org) 🥳🧵 Read the preprint here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
