Yersinia phage L-413C

Yersinia phage L-413C
Virus classification
Group: Group I (dsDNA)
Order: Caudovirales
Family: Myoviridae
Subfamily: Peduovirinae
Genus: P2likevirus
Species: Yersinia phage L-413C

Yersinia phage L-413C is a virus of the family Myoviridae, genus P2likevirus.[1][2]

As a member of the group I of the Baltimore classification, Yersinia phage L-413C is a dsDNA viruses. All the family Myoviridae members share a nonenveloped morphology consisting of a head and a tail separated by a neck. Its genome is linear. The propagation of the virions includes the attaching to a host cell (a bacterium, as Yersinia phage L-413C is a bacteriophage) and the injection of the double stranded DNA; the host transcribes and translates it to manufacture new particles. To replicate its genetic content requires host cell DNA polymerases and, hence, the process is highly dependent on the cell cycle.[3]

The protein H of the tail fiber of Yersinia phage L-413C permits the differentiation between Yersinia pestis and Y. pseudotuberculosis.[4]
