The tail sheath of bacteriophage N4 interacts with the Escherichia coli receptor.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 2009

McPartland Jennifer, Rothman-Denes Lucia B

Abstract excerpt

Unlike other characterized phages, the lytic coliphage N4 must inject the 360-kDa virion RNA polymerase (vRNAP), in addition to its 72-kbp genome, into the host for successful infection. The process of adsorption to the host sets up and elicits the necessary conformational changes in the virion to allow genome and vRNAP injection. Infection of suppressor and nonsuppressor strains, Escherichia coli W3350 supF and...
