Strong subunit coordination drives a powerful viral DNA packaging motor.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 9 Apr 2013

Andrews Benjamin T, Catalano Carlos Enrique

Abstract excerpt

Terminase enzymes are viral motors that package DNA into a preformed capsid and are of interest both therapeutically and as potential nano-machines. The enzymes excise a single genome from a concatemeric precursor (genome maturation) and then package the duplex to near-crystalline density (genome packaging). The functional motors are oligomers of protomeric subunits and are the most powerful motors currently...
