Abstract excerpt
Several bacteriophages use the Escherichia coli GroES and GroEL chaperonins for folding and assembly of their morphogenetic structures. Bacteriophage T4 is unusual in that it encodes a specialized protein (Gp31) that is thought to interact with the host GroEL and to be absolutely required for the correct assembly of the major capsid protein (Gp23) in vivo. Here we show that despite the absence of amino-acid...
