This review was performed by Devon Conti and Caroline Henrot, the two latest alumni from the BBH lab

We're happy to see their effort come to fruition and we hope you find it informative and enjoyable

#Phages can evade #bacterial #immunity by disrupting #antiviral signals like cA3, triggering Panoptes defense systems. @mfwhite2.bsky.social &co show that Type II Panoptes detects cA3 loss and activates a CARF-TM effector to disrupt membranes & stop infection @plosbiology.org 🧪 buff.ly/1ixwg9v

Left: Organisation and mechanism of the Panoptes System. In type I Panoptes systems, mCpol is constitutively active, generating signalling molecules that inactivate the cognate effector, 2TMβ. When an infecting phage expresses a sponge protein, the cyclic oligonucleotide pool is depleted. The Panoptes effector oligomerises, leading to membrane disruption and growth arrest or cell death. Right: CARF-TM model structure and cA3 binding. Alphafold3 model of CARF-TM in complex with cA3, including POPG molecules to simulate the membrane bilayer. The position mutated to generate the truncated CARF protein is shown by black arrows.

#Phages reprogramme infected cells through more than auxiliary metabolic genes. Review highlights phage-encoded transcription and sigma factors as powerful, understudied tools shaping host physiology and ecosystem processes. 🦠🔬
