Files in this Data Supplement:

  • Supplemental file 1 - Supplemental text and references; life cycle of typical bacteriophages alternating between lytic phase and lysogenic phase (Fig. S1); structural comparison between the WOcauB2 and WOcauB3 prophage sequences (Fig. S2) and between the WOcauB2 prophage sequence and the WOcauB1 sequence (Fig. S3); alignment of WOcauB1 and WOcauB2 sequences around the discrepant region (Fig. S4); molecular phylogenetic analysis of 15 gene product sequences encoded by the WO prophages from Wolbachia strains wCauB, wMel, wPip, and wKue (Fig. S5); phylogenetic relationship of the integrase gene products encoded in WO prophages on the basis of the conservative catalytic domain sequence (Fig. S6); estimated core sequences for WOcauB2 and WOcauB3 (Fig. S7); genes with similarity to B3gp45 of WOcauB3 in the databases (Fig. S8) and to GF2gp17 of wCauB-GF2 in the databases (Fig. S9); structural comparison of diverse patatin-like proteins (Fig. S10).
    List of ORFs encoded in WOcauB2 and WOcauB3 prophages determined in this study (Table S1), encoded in wCauB genome fragment 1 that flank WOcauB2 prophage (Table S2), and encoded in wCauB genome fragment 2 that flank WOcauB3 prophage (Table S3); PCR-RFLP detection of WOcauB1-type and WOcauB2-type gene sequences from the Wolbachia strain wCauB infection E. kuehniella (Table S4).
