Initiation of bacteriophage phi29 DNA replication in vivo: assembly of a membrane-associated multiprotein complex.
Journal of molecular biology - 30 May 1997
Bravo A, Salas M
Abstract excerpt
Initiation of in vitro phage phi29 DNA replication requires the formation of a heterodimer between a free molecule of terminal protein (TP), which acts as primer, and the viral DNA polymerase. We have analyzed membrane vesicles from phi29-infected Bacillus subtilis cells by quantitative immunoblot techniques. During phage DNA synthesis, large amounts of the viral proteins p1 and free TP were recovered in membrane...
