In this issue of Structure, Subramanian et al. present the cryo-EM structure of Shigella podophage HRP29, which possesses a T7-like tail complex surrounded by six P22/Sf6-like tailspikes and two unique decoration proteins. These colorful masks of HRP29 record the frequent events of horizontal gene transfer during evolution.
本期《结构》中，Subramanian 等人呈现了志贺氏菌噬菌体 HRP29 的冷冻电镜结构，该噬菌体拥有一个类似 T7 的尾部复合物，被六个 P22/Sf6 样尾刺和两个独特的装饰蛋白所环绕。HRP29 的这些丰富多彩的“面具”记录了进化过程中频繁发生的水平基因转移事件。
