Based upon whole genome and proteome analysis, Escherichia coli O157:H7-specific bacteriophage (phage) wV8 belongs to the new myoviral genus, "the Felix O1-like viruses" along with Salmonella phage Felix O1 and Erwinia amylovora phage phiEa21-4. The genome characteristics of phage wV8 (size 88.49 kb, mol%G+C 38.9, 138 ORFs, 23 tRNAs) are very similar to those of phage Felix O1 (86.16 kb, 39.0 mol%G+C, 131 ORFs and 22 tRNAs) and, indeed most of the proteins have their closest homologs within Felix O1. Approximately one-half of the Escherichia coli O157:H7 mutants resistant to phage wV8 still serotype as O157:H7 indicating that this phage may recognize, like coliphage T4, two different surface receptors: lipopolysaccharide and, perhaps, an outer membrane protein.
基于全基因组和蛋白质组分析,大肠杆菌O157:H7特异性噬菌体(噬菌体)wV8与沙门氏菌噬菌体Felix O1和梨火疫病菌噬菌体phiEa21-4同属于新的肌病毒属“类Felix O1病毒”。噬菌体wV8的基因组特征(大小88.49 kb,G+C含量38.9 mol%,138个开放阅读框,23个转运RNA)与噬菌体Felix O1(86.16 kb,39.0 mol%G+C,131个开放阅读框和22个转运RNA)非常相似,实际上大多数蛋白质在Felix O1中有最相近的同源物。约一半对噬菌体wV8具有抗性的大肠杆菌O157:H7突变体仍为O157:H7血清型,这表明该噬菌体可能像大肠杆菌噬菌体T4一样识别两种不同的表面受体:脂多糖,或许还有一种外膜蛋白。
