Functional analysis of the DNA-packaging/terminase protein gp17 from bacteriophage T4.

Journal of molecular biology - 4 Sept 1998

Kuebler D, Rao V B

Abstract excerpt

In bacteriophage T4, the terminase complex constituted by the large subunit gp17 (69 kDa) and the small subunit gp16 (18 kDa) is a critical component of the ATP-driven DNA-packaging pump that translocates DNA into an empty capsid shell. Evidence suggests that the large subunit gp17 is the critical component and consists of a number of the functional sites required for DNA-packaging. It exhibits a terminase...
