Bacteriophages encode #lysis proteins that inhibit essential bacterial processes. This study solves the #cryoEM #structure of an E. coli lipid II flippase complex with a phage lysis protein, showing that the flippase is locked in an outward facing conformation.

Structural visualization of the bacterial lipid II flippase MurJ (cyan) in complex with the bacteriophage single-gene lysis protein SglPP7 (magenta), shown within a schematic lipid bilayer. The image illustrates how SglPP7 interacts with MurJ and inhibits its function. Image credit: Kaito Hosoda & Tomoya Tsukazaki The images were prepared using molecular visualization software based on the experimentally determined structure of the MurJ–SglPP7 complex (PDB 9X2N). No generative AI or AI-based image enhancement tools were used.

Great lab celebration of “phi80 day” last Friday with Danish beers at Mikkeller Bar in Zürich – the 10th anniversary of a fateful experiment I had done as PostDoc in Copenhagen. It’s not Halloween yet, but read on for the very dark story that got me hooked on phages 🧬💀 1/16
