“…In addition, nutritional deprivation of the host cells promotes the lysogenic response. However, ifthe viability ofthe lysogenic cell is threatened, the phage is induced into the lytic pathway (Friedman et al, 1984).…”

A paradigm for the evolution of cooperation between parasites and their hosts argues that the mode of parasite transmission is critical to the long-term maintenance of cooperation. Cooperation is not expected to be maintained whenever the chief mode of transmission is horizontal: a parasite's progeny infect hosts unrelated to their parent's host. Cooperation is expected to be maintained if the chief mode of transmission is vertical: a parasite's progeny infect only the parent's host or descendants of that host. This paradigm was tested using bacteria and filamentous bacteriophage (f1). When cells harboring different variants of these phage were cultured so that no infectious spread was allowed, ensuring that all parasite transmission was vertical, selection favored the variants that were most benevolent to the host-those that least harmed host growth rate. By changing the culture conditions so that horizontal spread of the phage was allowed, the selective advantage of the benevolent forms was lost. These experiments thus support the theoretical arguments that mode of transmission is a major determinant in the evolution of cooperation between a parasite and its host.

“…Although not as common as targeting the transcription machinery, increasing evidence shows that some phages also directly target the host replication machinery. While many lytic phages encode most of the proteins for their genome replication, temperate phages as well as some lytic phages depend heavily upon the host replication machinery (Friedman et al, 1984). Through bacteriophage-host interactions, host proteins are recruited for the replication of the bacteriophage genome, often causing the abolition of host replication.…”

“…The start point of all these studies was the isolation of E. coil mutants that could not propagate bacteriophage A and the characterization of the cot-nally identified as functions essential for A DNA replication [1,2]. The groEL and groES genes (whose gene products form the GroEL chaperone machine; see below) were originaUy shown to be indispensable for the head morphogenesis of bacteriophage A [1,2]. Much later, it was shown that the DnaK, DnaJ, GrpE, GroEL and GroES are all universally conserved proteins, belonging to the so-called 'heat shock', or 'stress' class of proteins, and play fundamental and indispensable roles in protein folding, polypeptide transport, protein disaggregation and regulation of the heat shock response [5,6].…”

The Escherichia coli/bacteriophage lambda genetic interaction system has been used to uncover the existence of various biological machines. The starting point of all these studies was the isolation and characterization of E. coli mutants that blocked lambda growth, and the corresponding lambda compensatory mutations. In this manner, the lambda N-promoted transcriptional anti-termination machine was discovered composed of the NusA/NusB/NusE/NusG host proteins. In addition, the DnaK and GroEL chaperone machines were discovered composed of DnaK/DnaJ/GrpE and GroES/GroEL heat shock proteins. The individual members of the DnaK and GroEL chaperone machines have been conserved throughout evolution in both function and structure. Their biological roles include a direct involvement in lambda DNA replication and morphogenesis, the protection of proteins from aggregation, the disaggregation of various protein aggregates, the manipulation of protein structure and function, as well as the autoregulation of the heat shock response. The evolution of lambda to extensively rely on the status of the heat shock response of E. coli is likely linked to its lytic versus lysogenic choice of lifestyle. The bacteriophage T4 gp31 protein has been purified and shown to substitute for many of GroES' co-chaperonin activities.

Interactions of bacteriophage and host macromolecules in the growth of bacteriophage lambda.

Abstract: The problem of lysogenization is complicated by the fact that the bacterial response does not depend solely on the genetic constitution of the phage and of the bacterium as such, but on the interrelation or interaction of genetic materials." Andre Lwoff (167).
