Abstract excerpt
The sequences of two previously defined tail genes, V and J, of the temperate bacteriophage P2, and those of two new essential tail genes, W and I, were determined. Their order is the late gene promoter, VWJI, followed by the tail fiber genes H and G, and a transcription terminator. The V gene product is the small spike at the tip of the tail, and the J gene product lies at the edge of the baseplate. The W gene...
