Detection of bacteriophage VSH-1 - Oxford Academic
2003年7月1日 · VSH-1 is a mitomycin C-inducible, non-lytic, phage-like agent that packages random 7.5-kb fragments of the Brachyspira hyodysenteriae genome. VSH-1 is the first recognized mechanism for gene transfer between B. hyodysenteriae cells.
Detection of bacteriophage VSH-1 svp38 gene in ... - ScienceDirect
2003年7月29日 · VSH-1 is the first recognized mechanism for gene transfer between B. hyodysenteriae cells. To analyze the distribution of VSH-1 among spirochetes, a 344-bp probe for gene svp38, encoding the VSH-1 major head protein, was amplified by polymerase chain reaction and used in Southern blot hybridizations with genomic DNA from various spirochete genera.
Identification of a Divided Genome for VSH-1, the Prophage-Like …
2008年12月19日 · VSH-1 is a GTA produced by the anaerobic, pathogenic spirochete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae strain B204 (11). VSH-1 particles contain 7.5-kb fragments of B. hyodysenteriae DNA and transfer genes, including antibiotic resistance genes, between strains of the spirochete (11, 15, 20, 21).
Induction and transcription of VSH-1, a prophage-like gene …
2007年4月1日 · VSH-1 is a novel gene transfer mechanism which does not self-propagate and transfers random 7.5 kb fragments of host DNA between B. hyodysenteriae cells. In these investigations early events during VSH-1 induction by mitomycin C were examined.
Identification of genes associated with prophage-like gene transfer ...
2009年3月2日 · VSH-1 is an unusual prophage-like gene transfer agent (GTA) that has been described in the intestinal spirochaete Brachyspira hyodysenteriae. The GTA does not self-propagate, but it assembles into a virus-like particle and transfers random 7.5 kb fragments of host DNA to other B. hyodysenteriae cells.
Detection of bacteriophage VSH-1 svp38 gene in Brachyspira
2003年7月29日 · VSH-1 is a mitomycin C-inducible, non-lytic, phage-like agent that packages random 7.5-kb fragments of the Brachyspira hyodysenteriae genome. VSH-1 is the first recognized mechanism for gene transfer between B. hyodysenteriae cells. To analyze the distribution of VSH-1 among spirochetes, a 344-bp pr …
Identification of a divided genome for VSH-1, the prophage
The Brachyspira hyodysenteriae B204 genome sequence revealed three VSH-1 tail genes, hvp31, hvp60, and hvp37, in a 3.6-kb cluster. The location and transcription direction of these genes relative to those of the previously described VSH-1 16.3-kb gene operon indicate that the gene transfer agent VSH …
Gene transfer agents: phage-like elements of genetic exchange
