The functions of the N terminus of the phiX174 internal scaffolding protein, a protein encoded in an overlapping reading frame in a two scaffolding protein system.

Journal of molecular biology - 2 Jan 2004

Novak Christopher R, Fane Bentley A

Abstract excerpt

phiX174 utilizes two scaffolding proteins during morphogenesis, an internal protein (B) and an external protein (D). The B protein induces a conformational change in coat protein pentamers, enabling them to interact with both spike and external scaffolding proteins. While functions of the carboxyl terminus of protein B have been defined, the functions of the amino terminus remain obscure. To investigate the...
