A ribosome-interacting jumbophage protein associates with the phage nucleus to facilitate efficient propagation.
Bacteriophages must hijack the gene expression machinery of their bacterial host to efficiently replicate. Recently, we have shown that the early-expressed protein gp014 of Pseudomonas nucleus-forming phage phiKZ forms a stable complex with the host ribosomes and modulates the overall protein expres...
