Happy to share the side project of my PhD! Expressing two endolysin isoforms which form heterodimers is beneficial for host cell lysis. Check it out here: academic.oup.com/microlife/ar...
Thanks to all co-authors!
Heterodimerization of staphylococcal phage φ2638A endolysin isoforms and their functional role in bacterial lysis
Phage φ2638A co-expresses a short variant endolysin from an internal translational start site (iTSS), which heterodimerizes with the full-length isoform; t
