The role of virion-associated peptidoglycan hydrolases (VAPGHs) in the phage infection cycle is not clear. gp49, the VAPGH from Staphylococcus aureus phage 11, is not essential for phage growth but stabilizes the viral particles. 11Δ49 phages showed a reduced burst size and delayed host lysis. Complementation of gp49 with HydH5 from bacteriophage vB_SauS-phiIPLA88 restored the wild-type phenotype.
病毒相关肽聚糖水解酶(VAPGHs)在噬菌体感染周期中的作用尚不清楚。来自金黄色葡萄球菌噬菌体 11 的 VAPGH gp49 对噬菌体生长并非必需,但可稳定病毒颗粒。11Δ49 噬菌体的爆发量减少,宿主裂解延迟。用噬菌体 vB_SauS-phiIPLA88 的 HydH5 对 gp49 进行互补,恢复了野生型表型。
