Phage hijacks host phosphorothioate DNA modification machinery to circumvent bacterial Ssp defences | Nature Microbiology
Phage hijacks host phosphorothioate DNA modification machinery to circumvent bacterial Ssp defences - Nature MicrobiologyThe phage-encoded protein PptA enables its DNA to masquerade as the host and evade cleavage, providing a potential foundation for engineering therapeutic phages that could bypass this widespread defence system.www.nature.com
