    Abstract The parasitic life cycle of viruses involves the obligatory subversion of the host's macromolecular processes for efficient viral progeny production. Viruses that infect bacteria, bacteriophages (phages), are no exception and have evolved sophisticated ways to control essential biosynthetic machineries of their bacterial prey to benefit phage development. The xenogeneic regulation of bacterial cell function is a poorly understood area of bacteriology. The activity of the bacterial transcription machinery, the RNA polymerase (RNAP), is often regulated by a variety of mechanisms involving small phage-encoded proteins. In this review, we provide a brief overview of known phage proteins that interact with the bacterial RNAP and compare how two prototypical phages of Escherichia coli, T4 and T7, use small proteins to “puppeteer” the bacterial RNAP to ensure a successful infection.

    Abstract Enolase is a highly conserved enzyme that presents in all organisms capable of glycolysis or fermentation. Its immediate product phosphoenolpyruvate is essential for other important processes like peptidoglycan synthesis and the phosphotransferase system in bacteria. Therefore, enolase inhibitors are of great interest. Here, we report that Gp60, a phage-encoded enolase inhibitor protein (PEIP) of bacteriophage SPO1 for Bacillus subtilis, is an enolase inhibitor. PEIP-expressing bacteria exhibit growth attenuation, thinner cell walls, and safranin color in Gram staining owing to impaired peptidoglycan synthesis. We solve the structure of PEIP-enolase tetramer and show that PEIP disassembles enolase by disrupting the basic dimer unit. The structure reveals that PEIP does not compete for substrate binding but induces a cascade of conformational changes that limit accessibility to the enolase catalytic site. This phage-inspired disassembly of enolase represents an alternative strategy for the development of anti-microbial drugs.

    Abstract DNA mimicry by proteins is a strategy that employed by some proteins to occupy the binding sites of the DNA-binding proteins and deny further access to these sites by DNA. Such proteins have been found in bacteriophage, eukaryotic virus, prokaryotic, and eukaryotic cells to imitate non-coding functions of DNA. Here, we report another phage protein Gp44 from bacteriophage SPO1 of
