Multidisciplinary Methods for Screening Toxic Proteins from Phages and Their Potential Molecular Targets.
This chapter presents a comprehensive methodology for the identification, characterization, and functional analyses of potentially toxic hypothetical proteins of unknown function (toxHPUFs) in phages. The methods begin with in vivo toxicity verification of toxHPUFs in bacterial hosts, utilizing conventional drop tests and following growth curves. Computational methods for structural and functional predictions of toxHPUFs are outlined, incorporating the use of tools such as Phyre2, HHpred, and AlphaFold2. To ascertain potential targets, a comparative genomic approach is described using bioinformatics toolkits for sequence alignment and functional annotation. Moreover, steps are provided to predict protein-protein interactions and visualizing these using PyMOL. The culmination of these methods equips researchers with an effective pipeline to identify and analyze toxHPUFs and their potential targets, laying the groundwork for future experimental confirmations.
