Novel and deviant Walker A ATP-binding motifs in bacteriophage large terminase-DNA packaging proteins.

Virology - 10 Apr 2004

Mitchell Michael S, Rao Venigalla B

Abstract excerpt

Bacteriophage terminases constitute a very interesting class of viral-coded multifunctional ATPase "motors" that apparently drive directional translocation of DNA into an empty viral capsid. A common Walker A motif and other conserved signatures of a critical ATPase catalytic center are identified in the N-terminal half of numerous large terminase proteins. However, several terminases, including the...
