Streptococcus pneumoniae: a Plethora of Temperate Bacteriophages With a Role in Host Genome Rearrangement

Antonio J. Martin-Galiano et al.

Summary: Bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and can integrate into the host chromosome. Prophages have been found in abundance in sequenced bacterial genomes and can modulate the virulence of their host through different mechanisms. A study on Streptococcus pneumoniae genomes revealed the presence of various prophages, coding for virulence factors and potential integrases.

Highly accurate protein structure prediction with AlphaFold

John Jumper et al.

Summary: Proteins are essential for life, and accurate prediction of their structures is a crucial research problem. Current experimental methods are time-consuming, highlighting the need for accurate computational approaches to address the gap in structural coverage. Despite recent progress, existing methods fall short of atomic accuracy in protein structure prediction.

Recognition of Streptococcal Promoters by the Pneumococcal SigA Protein

Virtu Solano-Collado et al.

Summary: The study reveals the similarity of promoter recognition between SigA in Streptococcus pneumoniae and homologs in E. coli and Bacillus subtilis, showing the versatility of SigA in recognizing promoters from different sources. Results also demonstrate that SigA can direct RNA polymerase to transcribe genes involved in plasmid pMV158 replication and conjugative mobilization, indicating its critical role in the promiscuity of the plasmid.
