Abstract excerpt
Gene 2.5 of bacteriophage T7 encodes a single-stranded DNA-binding protein that is essential for viral survival. Its crystal structure reveals a conserved oligosaccharide/oligonucleotide binding fold predicted to interact with single-stranded DNA. However, there is no experimental evidence to support this hypothesis. Recently, we reported a genetic screen for lethal mutations in gene 2.5 that we are using to...
