Identification of a gene in Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage SPP1 determining the amount of packaged DNA.

Journal of molecular biology - 5 May 1992

Abstract excerpt

The virulent Bacillus subtilis bacteriophage SPP1 encapsidates its DNA by a headful mechanism. Analyzing phage missense mutants, which package less DNA than SPP1 wild-type but show no other affected properties, we have identified a gene whose product is involved in the sizing of phage DNA during maturation. Characterization of this gene and its product provides an experimental access to the poorly understood...
