Hi Susanne,
Yes. That is a classic presentation of a programmed frameshift found in tail assembly chaperone genes. There is some introductory info in the Bioinformatic Guide:

https://seaphagesbioinformatics.helpdocsonline.com/article-6

Lots have been written about them in the literature.

The rIIA-like protein and rIIB-like protein assignments are now on the SEA-PHAGES Functional Assignments List.
The significant hits are seen when using the UniProt-SwissProt-viral database at HHPred.

Also, this links to an excellent read on the proteins.

The pfam hits to holin are not great but also not shabby. The typical order of genes is not present in the B1s, so that is also not helpful. However, it is interesting that this gene has 4 transmembrane domains, and the 2 subsequent genes each have 2 transmembrane domains. So I would be inclined to call all three "membrane proteins".

Hi Shallee,
What genes are you referring to?
thanks,

Hi! I am not sure the evidence is convincing. I would like to investigate a bit.

I do not think that this protein (gene35 of Sarma624) has a reportable function. HHPred has no hits to an applicable function.

Yep. Looks like an error to me.
We will get this corrected as we continue with genome curations.
Thanks!

Joe,
It doesn't matter, just state (maybe in your cover letter) what you used.

Hi Greg,
The jury is really out on all of this. We are in need of wet bench data, which is coming, but not here yet.
There is just no answer at this time. I ran a comparison of the different settings and the new setting will work for now.
An alternative when you run with the old settings is to parse the sequence into parts. I ran a 20kb length of a bigger genome and was able to run it at the previous setting easily.
All i have for right now. Will update with additional data. a;ways check the Bioinformatics Guide for latest settings because I will keep it updated.
Thanks,
debbie
