TLS is a virulent bacteriophage of that utilizes TolC and lipopolysaccharide as its cell surface receptors.
The genome was reannotated using the latest online resources and compared to other T1-like phages.
The TLS genome consists of 49,902 base pairs, encoding 86 coding sequences that display considerable sequence similarity with the T1 phage genome. It also contains 18 intergenic 21-base long repeats, each of them upstream of a predicted start codon and in the direction of transcription. Data revealed that DNA packaging occurs through the site-mediated headful mechanism.
Based on sequence analysis of its genome, TLS belongs to the family and represents the type member of the genus.
TLS是一种烈性噬菌体,它利用TolC和脂多糖作为其细胞表面受体。
利用最新的在线资源对基因组进行重新注释,并与其他T1样噬菌体进行比较。
TLS基因组由49,902个碱基对组成,编码86个编码序列,这些序列与T1噬菌体基因组显示出相当大的序列相似性。它还包含18个基因间21个碱基长的重复序列,每个重复序列都位于预测起始密码子的上游且转录方向相同。数据显示DNA包装通过位点介导的满头部机制发生。
基于其基因组的序列分析,TLS属于该家族,代表该属的典型成员。
