Genetic organization of the head morphogenesis and DNA packaging modules of four phages encoding a MuF protein. SPP1 is a virulent Bacillus subtilis phage of the Siphoviridae family [31]. SPP1 encodes a short MuF1 protein. SF370.1 is a mitomycin C inducible prophage of M1 serotype Streptococcus pyogenes isolate SF370 and belongs to the Siphoviridae family [38]. SF370.1 encodes a MuF toxin of the MuF2 family with a putative nuclease activity. SM1 is a mitomycin C inducible prophage of Streptococcus mitis belonging to the Siphoviridae family [35]. SM1 encodes a MuF toxin of the MuF3 family with a putative nuclease activity. Mycobacteriophage Angel is a temperate phage of Mycobacterium smegmatis encoding a MuF4 protein with a C-terminal extension without predicted domain [69]
