The crystal structure of bacteriophage HK97 gp6: defining a large family of headtail connector proteins. As with the head genes discussed above, this more extensive case of genetic linkage can be understood in terms of the interactions of the encoded proteins: T4s DNA replication proteins form a complex, the nucleotide metabolism genes probably form a complex that feeds precursors into the DNA replication machine.

Because virion infectivity is influenced by the amount of DNA packaged within any given capsid either too little or too much leads to loss of virion stability there are evolutionary pressures to either gain or lose DNA to accommodate packaging and virion stability.

Moreover, viral ecologists calculate that there are about 1023 phage infections per second on a global scale, indicating that the population is not only large and old but also highly dynamic [3]. A segment of Colbert containing genes 3335 appears to have been acquired recently from a Rosebush-like phage, and the conserved sequences share 94% nucleotide identity.

Overall, phage genomes represent only about 15% of all viruses with known unique sequences and are thus vastly under-represented in the genome databases.

This study presents a large-scale bioinformatic analysis of evolutionary relationships and the rate of HGT in a dataset of more than 2,300 phages. T2 phage had very high genomic sequence similarity to SV76 (99.99% identity), so we performed host range analysis of T2 with the same bacteria strains to see whether the genomic similarity translated to host range phenotypic similarity. .

The current state of bacteriophage genomics shows that the genetic diversity of the population is very high, that phages have been actively evolving for billions of years with active engagement of horizontal genetic exchange, and that their genomes are consequently pervasively mosaic in their architectures. 25, 762777 (2008).
