Regulation by interdomain communication of a headful packaging nuclease from bacteriophage T4
In genome packaging by tailed bacteriophages and herpesviruses, a concatemeric DNA is cut and inserted into an empty procapsid. A series of cuts follow the encapsidation of each unit-length 'headful' genome, but the mechanisms by which cutting is coupled to packaging are not understood. Here we report the first biochemical characterization of a headful nuclease from bacteriophage T4. Our result...
متن کاملStructure and inhibition of herpesvirus DNA packaging terminase nuclease domain.
During viral replication, herpesviruses package their DNA into the procapsid by means of the terminase protein complex. In human cytomegalovirus (herpesvirus 5), the terminase is composed of subunits UL89 and UL56. UL89 cleaves the long DNA concatemers into unit-length genomes of appropriate length for encapsidation. We used ESPRIT, a high-throughput screening method, to identify a soluble puri...
متن کاملEcoRI analysis of bacteriophage P22 DNA packaging.
Bacteriophage P22 linear DNA molecules are a set of circularly permuted sequences with ends located in a limited region of the physical map. This mature form of the viral chromosome is cut in headful lengths from a concatemeric precursor during DNA encapsulation. Packaging of P22 DNA begins at a specific site, which we have termed pat, and then proceeds sequentially to cut lengths of DNA slight...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of bacteriophage P22 lysozyme structure.
The suppression patterns of 11 phage P22 mutants bearing different amber mutations in the gene encoding lysozyme (19) were determined on six different amber suppressor strains. Of the 60 resulting single amino acid substitutions, 18 resulted in defects in lysozyme activity at 30 degrees; an additional seven were defective at 40 degrees. Revertants were isolated on the "missuppressing" hosts fol...
متن کاملCryo-EM asymmetric reconstruction of bacteriophage P22 reveals organization of its DNA packaging and infecting machinery.
The mechanisms by which most double-stranded DNA viruses package and release their genomic DNA are not fully understood. Single particle cryo-electron microscopy and asymmetric 3D reconstruction reveal the organization of the complete bacteriophage P22 virion, including the protein channel through which DNA is first packaged and later ejected. This channel is formed by a dodecamer of portal pro...
