Genetic analysis of the phi X174 DNA binding protein.
Virology - 20 Jan 1997
Jennings B, Fane B A
Abstract excerpt
The phi X174 J protein is 37 amino acids in length and contains 12 basic residues. There are no acidic amino acids in the protein. The basic residues are concentrated in two clusters in the N-terminus which are separated by a proline-rich region. To investigate the morphogenetic functions of the J protein and possible mechanisms by which it may bind DNA, a genetic analysis was conducted. Lysine --> leucine and...
