SummaryLipoproteins of temperate phage are a broad family of membrane proteins encoded in the lysogeny module of temperate phages. Expression of the ltpTP-J34 gene of temperate Streptococcus thermophilus phage TP-J34 interferes with phage infection at the stage of triggering DNA release and injection into the cell. Here, we report the first structure of a superinfection exclusion protein. We have expressed and determined the X-ray structure of LtpTP-J34. The soluble domain of LtpTP-J34 is composed of a tandem of three-helix helix-turn-helix (HTH) domains exhibiting a highly negatively charged surface. By isolating mutants of lactococcal phage P008wt with reduced sensitivities to LtpTP-J34 and by genome sequencing of such mutants we obtained evidence supporting the notion that LtpTP-J34 targets the phage's tape measure protein (TMP) and blocks its insertion into the cytoplasmic membrane.

Development of host range mutants of bacteriophage has been believed generally to be a result of the spontaneous mutation of original phage (Luria, 1945). Recently, however, it has been proposed (Hershey et al., 1954) that the host range mutants of T3 phage arose from interactions between phage and bacterial cell, possibly in the nature of genetic substitutions. Fukumi and Nojima (1957) proposed a unitary theory which explained the host range mutation and the host-controlled variation (Luria and Human, 1952; and Bertani and Weigle, 1953) on the basis of the cross-over between host and phage genes (Weigle and Dulbecco, 1953;
