Phage therapy is influenced by:

Country :
the epidemiological situation is different from country to country in terms of circulating bacteria and bacteriophages. Example: a lytic phages from Italy may be no active on the same bacteria (genus and species) isolated from another country and vice versa.
Chronolability
Mutation rate
Phenotypical delay
Phage cocktail
My point of view

From Wikipedia


If the target host* of a phage therapy treatment is not
an animal the term "
biocontrol" (as in phage-mediated biocontrol of bacteria) is usually employed, rather than "phage therapy".

"In silico"

From:"Genomics,Proteomics and Clinical Bacteriology", N.Woodford and Alan P.Johnson

Phrase that emphasizes the fact that many molecular biologists spend increasing amounts of their time in front of a computer screen, generating hypotheses that can subsequently be tested and (hopefully) confirmed in the laboratory.

Is there a relationship with gp12? :

misc_feature: 6726-6983,258bp,Cutinase; Region: Cutinase; pfam01083


Statistics on the protein properties:







Cutinase and cutin is the substrate




1- CUTINASE_1PS00155; Cutinase, serine active site  (PATTERN)

 Consensus pattern:
P-x-[STA]-x-[LIV]-[IVT]-x-[GS]-G-Y-S-[QL]-G
S is an active site residue


2- CUTINASE_2PS00931Cutinase, aspartate and histidine active sites  (PATTERN)

 Consensus pattern:
C-x(3)-D-x-[IV]-C-x-G-[GST]-x(2)-[LIVM]-x(2,3)-H
D and H are active site residues



My contribution:

by Artemis software I download the  Fasta sequence of CDS of gp12 and by Jemboss software  I analyse the Aa sequence in search for these consensus patterns:






There is  in gp12 only one consensus pattern: PYAX5GYSQG is inside  of the cutinase region and gp12 is the Lysin B of Mycobacteriophage D29.

 In the hypothetical protein from D29p02:
 



There is not consensus for cutinase activity but there is one motif for a nuclease activity:D X5 (DAK)

Deduction
The hypothetical protein from D29p02 is not correlated  to the gp12 protein.

Is there a relationship with gp69 ?

CDS: 44,061-44,870, 810 bp, gp69: predicted 30.7 kD protein(269 Aa)

misc_feature: 44,262-44,843,582 bp, PD-(D/E)XK nuclease superfamily;Region:   PDDEXK_1; pfam12705

 statistics on the protein properties:


 
here

"PD-(D/E)XK nucleases comprise a large and extremely diverse group of proteins that are involved in various processes of nucleic acid metabolism. Typically, different PD-(D/E)XK families share little or no recognizable sequence similarity except for the conserved signature of the active site. As it happens, the name of this large group of nucleases derives from the highly conserved ‘PD’ (in many cases only ‘D’) and ‘(D/E)XK’ (‘X’ denotes the non-conserved position) active site motifs".

My contribution:
in practice I verify if there is the Catalytic motif (P)D...Xn...(D/E)XK (where X is any aminoacid) in the sequences.

by Artemis software I download the  Fasta sequence of gp1 CDS and by Jemboss software  I analyse the Aa sequence:


!!!!!!!there are two catalytic motifs.


In the same way for gp69


!!!!!!!there are two catalytic motifs.

gp1 and gp69 have two Catalytic motif (P)D...Xn...(D/E)XK. One catalytic motif :   DX12(DXK)   in the sequences is in the same lenght.

Dot plot by Gepard software:








Deduction:
gp1 could be a protein with the same activity of  the protein gp69.
