Systematic Discovery of Phage Genes that Inactivate Bacterial Immune Systems

S. Ojima, A. H. Azam, K. Kondo, W. Nie, S. Wang, K. Chihara, A. Tamura, W. Yamashita, T. Nakamura, Y. Sugawara, M. Sugai, B. Zhu, Y. Takahashi, K. Watashi, K. Kiga

This study identifies phage genes that inactivate bacterial immune systems by testing gene deletions in a phage library against bacterial defense systems.

Viruses encode tRNA and anti-retron to evade bacterial immunity

A. H. Azam, K. Chihara, K. Kondo, T. Nakamura, S. Ojima, A. Tamura, W. Yamashita, L. Cui, Y. Takahashi, K. Watashi, K. Kiga

This study identifies two viral strategies to evade bacterial retrons: supplying tRNATyr to counteract retron 78 and using Rad to degrade retron noncoding RNA precursors.

Global identification of RsmA/N binding sites in Pseudomonas aeruginosa by in vivo UV CLIP-seq

K. Chihara, L. Barquist, K. Takasugi, N. Noda, S. Tsuneda

This study identifies RsmA/N binding sites in Pseudomonas aeruginosa using UV CLIP-seq, revealing over 500 binding peaks and a consensus motif, and shows their role in gene regulation and homeostasis.
