The N-terminal ATPase site in the large terminase protein gp17 is critically required for DNA packaging in bacteriophage T4.

Journal of molecular biology - 30 Nov 2001

Rao V B, Mitchell M S

Abstract excerpt

Double-stranded DNA packaging in bacteriophages is apparently driven by the most powerful molecular motor ever measured. Although it is widely accepted that a translocating ATPase powers the DNA packaging machine, the identity of the ATPase that generates this driving force is unknown. Evidence suggests that the large terminase protein gp17, which possesses two consensus ATP binding motifs and an ATPase activity,...
