Adaptive loss of tRNA gene expression leads to phage resistance in a marine Synechococcus cyanobacterium
S. Zborowsky, R. Tahan, D. Lindell
The paper identifies a mechanism of phage resistance in Synechococcus involving tRNA gene expression loss, showing that reduced LeuTAA tRNA levels prevent phage gene translation.
