Anti-restriction functions of injected phage proteins revealed by peeling back layers of bacterial immunity by Sukrit Silas, Héloïse Carion, Kira S. Makarova, David Sanchez Godinez, Surabhi Haniyur, Lucy Volino, Wearn-Xin Yee, Andrea Fossati, Danielle Swaney, Michael Bocek, Eugene V. Koonin, Joseph Bondy-Denomy

“…LPS modification emerged as a major theme, with the discovery of several small phage proteins that modify specific O-antigen structures, removing barriers to phage adsorption. Bypassing O-antigen in wild E. coli strains revealed another layer of defense: Type IV restriction endonucleases (RE) that target modified DNA of T-even phages (T2, T4, T6). …”
