In vivo bypass of chaperone by extended coiled-coil motif in T4 tail fiber.

Abstract excerpt

The distal-half tail fiber of bacteriophage T4 is made of three gene products: trimeric gp36 and gp37 and monomeric gp35. Chaperone P38 is normally required for folding gp37 peptides into a P37 trimer; however, a temperature-sensitive mutation in T4 (ts3813) that suppresses this requirement at 30 degrees C but not at 42 degrees C was found in gene 37 (R. J. Bishop and W. B. Wood, Virology 72:244-254, 1976)....
