Functional analysis of the bacteriophage T4 DNA-packaging ATPase motor.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 6 Jan 2006

Mitchell Michael S, Rao Venigalla B

Abstract excerpt

Packaging of double-stranded DNA into bacteriophage capsids is driven by one of the most powerful force-generating motors reported to date. The phage T4 motor is constituted by gene product 16 (gp16) (18 kDa; small terminase), gp17 (70 kDa; large terminase), and gp20 (61 kDa; dodecameric portal). Extensive sequence alignments revealed that numerous phage and viral large terminases encode a common Walker-B motif...
