Extracellular activity of a bacterial protease associated with reduced phage infectivity

Ehud Herbst, Gael Rosen Blechman, Taya Fedorenko…·Rotem Sorek

The paper shows a secreted bacterial protease reduces phage infectivity by degrading phage DNA, with phages escaping by mutating a tail-associated protein.

Diversification of molecular pattern recognition in bacterial NLR-like proteins

Nathalie Béchon, Nitzan Tal, Avigail Stokar-Avihail…·Rotem Sorek

The paper shows that KpAvs2 recognizes a different phage protein, Ksap1, during infection compared to heterologous co-expression assays.
