Comprehensive mutagenesis of the C-terminal domain of the M13 gene-3 minor coat protein: the requirements for assembly into the bacteriophage particle.

Abstract excerpt

Filamentous bacteriophage assemble at the host membrane in a non-lytic process; the gene-3 minor coat protein (P3) is required for release from the membrane and subsequently, for recognition and infection of a new host. P3 contains at least three distinct domains: two N-terminal domains that mediate host recognition and infection, and a C-terminal domain (P3-C) that is required for release from the host cell...
