Evasion of antiviral bacterial immunity by phage tRNAs

Retrons are bacterial genetic elements that, in combination with toxic effector proteins, can serve as antiphage defense systems. Here, the authors show that some phages can evade retrons and other defense systems by expressing specific tRNAs.

Phage engineering to overcome bacterial Tmn immunity in Dhillonvirus

Two distinct phage engineering strategies—mutating phage genes targeted by bacterial anti-phage systems and arming phages with genes that counteract these systems—have enabled the circumvention of bacterial anti-phage defenses.

Synthetic phage-based approach for sensitive and specific detection of Escherichia coli O157

Efficient phage synthesis yields O157 antigen-specific phages with the detection tag at optimal sites, enabling specific detection of diverse E. coli O157 clinical isolates and suggesting broad applications in bacterial detection and phage therapy.

The mitochondrial inner membrane protein LETM1 modulates cristae organization through its LETM domain

Nakamura et al find that the mitochondrial protein LETM1 can directly modulate membrane structure in vitro and identify a conserved domain involved in modulating mitochondrial membrane morphology. This study enhances our understanding of how mitochondrial cristae are organised.
