  1. 1. Developmental switches in a family of temperate phages

    Författare :Alexandra Ahlgren Berg; Elisabeth Haggård-Ljungquist; Gianni Dehò; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetics; Genetik;

    Sammanfattning : P2 is the prototype phage of the non-lambdoid P2 family of temperate phages. A developmental switch determines whether a temperate phage will grow lytically or form lysogeny after infection. P2 related phages have two face-to-face located promoters controlling the lysogenic and the lytic operon respectively, and two repressors. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Site-specific recombination in P2-like coliphages

    Författare :Carlos Cardoso Palacios; Elisabeth Haggård-Ljungquist; Didier Mazel; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Genetics; Genetik; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : The scope of these studies has been to investigate the site-specific recombination systems of P2-like coliphages, both in an evolutionary perspective by a comparative analysis of related phages as well as in a functional perspective. Surveys of P2-like phages in Escherichia coli isolated from nature reveal the existence of seven discrete immunity classes and three integration sites, one of them previously unknown. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Bacterial viruses targeting multi-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli

    Författare :Harald Eriksson; Anders Nilsson; Elisabeth Haggård-Ljungquist; Klas Flärdh; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bacterial viruses; Bacteriophage; Phage; Phage therapy; multi-resistant bacteria; Klebsiella pneumoniae; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : The global increase in antibiotic resistance levels in bacteria is a growing concern to our society and highlights the need for alternative strategies to combat bacterial infections. Bacterial viruses (phages) are the natural predators of bacteria and are as diverse as their hosts, but our understanding of them is limited. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Structure-Function Studies of Bacteriophage P2 Integrase and Cox protein

    Författare :Jesper Eriksson; Elisabeth Haggård; Karin Hammer; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bacteriophage P2; site-specific recombination; integrase; transcriptional switch; Genetics; Genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Probably no group of organisms has been as important as bacteriophages when it comes to the understanding of fundamental biological processes like transcriptional control, DNA replication, site-specific recombination, e.t.c.The work presented in this thesis is a contribution towards the complete understanding of these organisms.

  7. 5. Functional characterization of a phage integrase and its possible use in gene therapy

    Författare :Clara Frumerie; Elisabeth Haggård-Ljungquist; Lars Sundström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Bacteriophage P2 infecting Escherichia coli can integrate into the bacterial chromosome by site-specific recombination, which is catalyzed by the P2 Int recombinase. The recombination event takes place between the phage attachment site, attP, and the bacterial attachment site, attB. LÄS MER
