Gene organization of the PBSX and SPβ prophage late operons in the area of the lytic systems (red) described. Whereas xepA in prophage PBSX is located in the direct vicinity of the lytic entity (xhlA, xhlB, xlyA), yomS in SPβ is further removed from the blyA, bhlA, bhlB region. The cassettes containing xkdV, xkdW, xkdX and yomR, yomQ, yomP encode structural tail proteins (purple). The xlyB gene is located further upstream in the PBSX genome. |
