Bacteriophages Induce Broad Protein Modifications in Infected Bacteria

New research shows that phages trigger extensive post-translational modifications across host cell proteins. This discovery unveils a previously unknown layer of viral manipulation during infection.

EXPANDED:

The study highlights a sophisticated viral strategy where bacteriophages chemically alter a vast array of host proteins after infection. These post-translational modifications act as a broad regulatory switch
