The Tailocin Tale: Peeling off Phage Tails
Trends Microbiol.
2015 Oct.
Abstract
Bacteria produce a variety of particles resembling phage tails that are functional without an associated phage head. Acquired from diverse bacteriophage sources, these stand-alone units were sculpted to serve different ecological roles. Such tailocins mediate antagonism between related bacteria as well as interactions with eukaryotic cells.
Keywords: Pseudomonas; R-type bacteriocin; protein translocation; pyocin.
