Abstract

Understanding core and conditional gene essentiality is crucial for decoding genotype-phenotype relationships in organisms. We present PhageMaP, a high-throughput method to create genome-scale phage knockout libraries for systematically assessing gene essentiality in bacteriophages. Using PhageMaP, we generate gene essentiality maps across hundreds of genes in the model phage T7 and the non-model phage Bas63, on diverse hosts. These maps provide fundamental insights into genome organization, gene function, and host-specific conditional essentiality. By applying PhageMaP to a collection of anti-phage defense systems, we uncover phage genes that either inhibit or activate eight defenses and offer novel mechanistic hypotheses. Furthermore, we engineer synthetic phages with enhanced infectivity by modular transfer of a PhageMaP-discovered defense inhibitor from Bas63 to T7. PhageMaP is generalizable, as it leverages homologous recombination, a universal cellular process, for locus-specific barcoding. This versatile tool advances bacteriophage functional genomics and accelerates rational phage design for therapy.

Figures

Figure 1. PhageMaP creates barcoded genome-wide knockout libraries in phages. (A) Scheme for generating barcoded phage knockout libraries. Oligos containing target-specific 95nt homology arms and sgRNAs are cloned into a high-copy number vector. 16N barcodes are subsequently added to generate a barcoded donor plasmid library. This library is infected by WT T7 and Cas9-RecA-mediated homologous recombination (HR) inserts barcodes into designated loci. (B) Screening of the PhageMaP libraries on diverse hosts. The pre- and post-selection abundances of phage variants are quantified with deep sequencing. Each variant is then scored to create context-specific gene essentiality profiles. (C) Validation of barcode insertions into four T7 genomic loci. Cas9-RecA-mediated HR was carried out using 1 of 4 sgRNAs or a mix of the 4 sgRNAs in pooled format. The four genomic loci were sequenced, and the percentage of recombined phages was determined by finding the ratio of insertions to total reads. (D) Distribution and mapping of the T7 PhageMaP library. (E) Distribution and mapping of the Bas63 PhageMaP library.

Figure 2. PhageMaP recapitulates established biology and uncovers novel insights in model T7 phage. (A) Heatmap of the T7 fitness scores after Z-normalization within each of the 11 conditions. To better emphasize differences outside the two extremes of the data, a 10th percentile floor and 90th percentile ceiling were imposed for the color scaling. The lines through each cell represent the standard error (SE) where a full line represents SE≥1. Clustering was performed using the Euclidean metric and Ward linkage method. Metadata describes general classification of each gene. (B) Plot mapping the genomic coordinates and scores for intergenic perturbations. The points (intergenic variants) and blocks (genes) are colored using the same scale as (A). The gene scores used for coloring are the medians of scores from each tested condition. Instances from (A) of (C) generally nonessential genes that become more essential. The presence of intact Type I restriction-modification systems was determined by used PADLOC121. Instances from (A) of (D) generally essential genes that become more nonessential, (E) moderately essential gene becoming more essential, and (F) resolution of overlapping genetic elements. (G) Scatter plots showing the fitness scores and standard errors for each fitness measurement for the 11 hosts. Points corresponding to each classification are highlighted by color. Dotted lines represent the threshold for “nonessential” and “essential” genes. Instances from (A) of (H) unclear conditional essentiality and (I) potential artifacts involving characterized genes.

Figure 3. PhageMaP creates gene essentiality profiles for a non-model Bas63 phage. (A) Heatmap of the Bas63 fitness scores after Z-normalization within each of the 4 conditions. To better emphasize differences outside the two extremes of the data, a 10th percentile floor and a 90th percentile ceiling were imposed for the color scaling.

The color of the tiles represents the difference in Z-normalized fitness scores between with defense and the control. Black boxes indicate targets deem to be potential counters to a defense system and subjected for secondary validation.

Asterisks at the end of gene names indicate genes which were manually annotated after BLASTp search. (B) Efficiency of plating (EOP) measurements for Bas63 knockouts with the Sir2-HerA host. Average titers on the control strain were first determined (3 technical replicates). Each point on the plot represents a technical replicate for EOP using those calculated averages as the denominator for each titer measurement on the defense host. Bars represent the mean of three replicates, and error bars denote the standard deviation. Hypothesis testing was performed pairwise with each knockout and WT.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
