Characterization of the Interactions between Staphylococcal Phage 80 Alpha Scaffold and Capsid Proteins

Characterization of the Interactions between Staphylococcal Phage 80 Alpha Scaffold and Capsid Proteins

Staphylococcal phage 80α can serve as a helper bacteriophage for a family of mobile genetic elements called Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity islands (SaPIs). The prototype island, SaPI1, is able to hijack the 80α capsid assembly process and redirect capsid formation to yield smaller, phage-like t...
