T7 Bacteriophage - Enterobacteria phage T7
Superkingdom: Viruses
Clade: Duplodnaviria
Kingdom: Heunggongvirae
Phylum: Uroviricota
Class: Caudoviricetes
Family: Autographiviridae
Subfamily: Studiervirinae
Genus: Teseptimavirus
Species: Teseptimavirus T7
Like other viruses, the T7 bacteriophage does not produce its own energy. Instead, it infiltrates a bacterium via a membrane protein, and alters the genome in the nuclear envelope. By doing this, the T7 bacteriophage interferes with the protein synthesis and metabolic pathways of the bacteria into producing viral proteins and packaging them with the viruses genome.
The genome of the T7 Bacteriophage is comprised of approximately 40,000 bp of DNA coding for 55 proteins. Many of these genes are overlapping and are removed via refactoring of the genome.
