The large subunit of bacteriophage lambda's terminase plays a role in DNA translocation and packaging termination.

Journal of molecular biology - 22 Feb 2002

Duffy Carol, Feiss Michael

Abstract excerpt

The DNA packaging enzyme of bacteriophage lambda, terminase, is a heteromultimer composed of a small subunit, gpNu1, and a large subunit, gpA, products of the Nu1 and A genes, respectively. The role of terminase in the initial stages of packaging involving the site-specific binding and cutting of the DNA has been well characterized. While it is believed that terminase plays an active role in later post-cleavage...
