Abstract excerpt
Tail lysozyme of bacteriophage T4, product of gene 5 (gp5), functions upon infection by locally digging a hole in the peptidoglycan layer, so that the tail tube, through which the phage DNA is injected, can penetrate to the inner membrane. It has been inferred from DNA sequence and expression of the tail lysozyme on a plasmid in Escherichia coli that the tail lysozyme is synthesized as a precursor of 62 K and is...
