Shape shifter: redirection of prolate phage capsid assembly by staphylococcal pathogenicity islands

Phage-inducible chromosomal islands (PICIs) are a group of mobile genetic elements that hijack the replication and assembly machinery of helper bacteriophages. Here the authors describe a mechanism by which a group of PICIs from Staphylococcus aureus re-direct the assembly pathway of their helpers u...
