Abstract excerpt
We constructed a set of deletion mutants in the attachment protein of phage fd. These mutants lack sequences coding for sections in the amino-terminal half. All the mutants that comprise a leader sequence are incorporated into phage particles. Our data strongly suggest a bipartite organization of the amino-terminal domain with (1) a region for receptor recognition and (2) a region that is necessary for...
