In calling the immunity repressor of a phage JF2 (gp71), we came across a peculiar finding. It seems that the immunity repressor's open reading frame has less coding potential than another open reading frame in that area. Don't be fooled! JF2's immunity repressor shows hits in HHPred to the HTH DNA binding site (N-terminus).
Read Pope, et al 2011a for info about Bxz2's broken repressor. However, our gene doesn't match that N terminus either.
Many (did I say many?) phages have miscalled the open reading frame as the immunity repressor. Be careful. We will fix as soon as we can.

Hi Debbie
Is the immunity repressor called correctly in Norbert_70 and Lambert1_73. We annotated Caviar and it has a 552 base pair deletion in that region and therefore doesn't have an immunity repressor gene.
Please advise
Thank you
Fernando

One last question, are you using the 300-cycle kit at 2x150 paired end reads that you are running on the MiSeq?
Thank you

Hi,
We just got a MiniSeq and plan to try our own sequencing. I would like to follow your protocol. Would you be able to share the protocol you use for sequencing? Any recommendations for the MiniSeq? Recommended coverage? Any information is greatly appreciated.
regards,
Fernando

I will check that out!
In the meantime I went to pecaan to look at the six frames.
thank you

Hi everyone
All of the sudden the scrolling bar in the six frame translation window is gone. THe rest of the components of the ribbon at the bottom are there, but I can't scroll through the sequence. I attached a picture of the window. I uninstalled and reinstalled DNA Master and it still happening. I am running on a PC with windows 10.
thank you
Fernando

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

Hey
Retaking this thread. We are annotating Sarma624. Gene 35 blasted in phagesdb gets two hits with a PLA2-like protein domain function, Bigphil_35 and Mozy_42. It is a phospholipase A2 It doesn't appear in the list of accepted functions yet. Most of the other F1 phages have NKF for the same gene. The HHPred hits are all human actin binding protein or other not close to a phospholipase. I would be inclined to think BigPhil and Mozy's annotations are incorrect and thus to call it NKF for Sarma.
