Citation | Journal: bioRxiv / Year: 2026Title: Dynamic adhesion device of phage OE33PA drives Gram-positive host recognition. Authors: Laura Schmitt / Amel Chaïb / Denis Ptchelkine / Eaazhisai Kandiah / Claire Le Marrec / Christian Cambillau / Adeline Goulet Abstract: Bacteriophages (phages) infecting Gram-positive bacteria must bind to host receptors across thick cell walls to initiate infection, yet the underlying structural mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we ...Bacteriophages (phages) infecting Gram-positive bacteria must bind to host receptors across thick cell walls to initiate infection, yet the underlying structural mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we report cryo-electron microscopy structures of the siphophage OE33PA, providing the first atomic resolution view of a phage infecting this bacterium important for the wine industry. While the overall virion architecture is conserved, the adhesion device displays distinctive features. Its receptor-binding proteins adopt multiple orientations, revealing an intrinsically dynamic assembly. cryo-electron tomography captures distinct conformations upon host attachment, providing rare structural insight into interactions with Gram-positive hosts. Additionally, functional assays show that a highly mobile carbohydrate-binding module in the distal tail protein mediates host-specific binding. Furthermore, the tape measure protein, central to phage assembly and infectivity, adopts a hexameric organization, updating the prevailing trimeric model in siphophages. Together, these findings reveal a dynamic adhesion device in a phage infecting Gram-positive bacteria and highlight the structural and functional diversity of phages. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
