Expanding structural insights into DNA packaging apparatus and endolysin LysSA05 function of Epsilon15 bacteriophage by Muhammad Saleem Iqbal Khan, Ju Wu, Shenlin Ji, Demeng Tan, Bingrui Sui, Shanshan Peng, Jinbiao Zhan, Jiajun Yin

“…Phage therapy offers a promising solution against MDR Gram-negative infections; however, its clinical application is constrained by the presence of endotoxins, residual cellular debris, the risk of horizontal gene transfer by temperate phages, and an incomplete understanding of how phage structural integrity influences infectivity and enzyme function. In this study, we present a structural and functional analysis of temperate bacteriophage Epsilon15 (ϵ15), focusing on its DNA packaging and injection machinery, along with characterization of the dual-acting endolysin LysSA05. …”
