Sequence data show that the antifeeding component is part of a large gene cluster that may form a defective prophages and that six potential members of this prophage are present in Photorhabdus luminescens subsp.

The C protein is the first example, to the authors' knowledge, of a structure that contains rearrangement hotspot (RHS) repeats, and illustrates a marked structural architecture that is probably conserved across both this widely distributed bacterial protein family and the related eukaryotic tyrosine-aspartate (YD)-repeat-containing protein family, which includes the teneurins.
Plasmid-Located Pathogenicity Determinants of Serratia entomophila, the Causal Agent of Amber Disease of Grass Grub, Show Similarity to the Insecticidal Toxins of Photorhabdus luminescens

Results suggest that SepA, SepB, and SepC together are sufficient for amber disease causation by S. entomophila and that another locus also able to exert a cessation-of-feeding effect is encoded elsewhere on pADAP.

The structure of a novel Tc, Yen-Tc, isolated from the bacterium Yersinia entomophaga MH96, is reported, which differs from the majority of bacterially derived Tcs in that it exhibits oral activity toward a broad range of insect pests, including the diamondback moth.

Through transposon mutagenesis and DNA sequence analysis, the main disease determinant of the entomopathogenic bacterium Yersinia entomophaga MH96 was localized to an ~32-kb pathogenicity island (PAI) designated PAI(Ye₉₆), and there was a general dissolution of the larval midgut within 48 h after ingestion of the TC.

The trans based expression of AnfA1, an RfaH - like transcriptional antiterminator, was able to be induced and the expressed Afp resembled a phage tail-like bacteriocin, exhibiting two distinct morphologies: an extended and a contracted form.

This is the first insight into the three-dimensional structure of a tailocin and shows clear 6-fold cyclic symmetry contrary to a previous conclusion of 4-fold symmetry based on analysis of only the preferred side views.

The results suggest that Afp16 terminates tube elongation and is involved in sheath formation in Serratia entomophila antifeeding prophage Afp.
