Expression and regulation of genes coding for three bacteriophage T4 tail tube-associated proteins.

Virology - 1 Apr 1990

Abstract excerpt

The assembly and length regulation of the tail tube of bacteriophage T4 requires the function of three proteins: gp29, 48, and 54. Six copies of each protein are found in the completed tail, and the genes for these proteins are adjacent on the T4 genome. Evidence is presented here that gp54 is al...
