A coat protein of the bacteriophage M13 virion participates in membrane-oriented synthesis of DNA.
Several molecules of a protein specified by gene 3 of M13 comprise a minor fraction of the phage coat and have been assigned a role in adsorption to the bacterial cell. We find that the gene-3 protein molecules of the virion are fully conserved in phage that have attached irreversibly to the host cell, and they form a complex with the phage DNA when it has been converted to a duplex replicative...
متن کاملConstrained modeling of spin-labeled major coat protein mutants from M13 bacteriophage in a phospholipid bilayer.
The family of three-dimensional molecular structures of the major coat protein from the M13 bacteriophage, which was determined in detergent micelles by NMR methods, has been analyzed by constrained geometry optimization in a phospholipid environment. A single-layer solvation shell of dioleoyl phosphatidylcholine lipids was built around the protein, after replacing single residues by cysteines ...
متن کاملRNA binding properties of the coat protein from bacteriophage GA.
The coat protein of bacteriophage GA, a group II RNA phage, binds to a small RNA hairpin corresponding to its replicase operator. Binding is specific, with a Ka of 71 microM -1. This interaction differs kinetically from the analogous coat protein-RNA hairpin interactions of other RNA phage and also deviates somewhat in its pH and salt dependence. Despite 46 of 129 amino acid differences between...
متن کاملControl of protein synthesis in Escherichia coli: control of bacteriophage Q beta coat protein synthesis after energy source shift-down.
Escherichia coli Q13 was infected with bacteriophage Q beta and subjected to energy source shift-down (from glucose-minimal to succinate-minimal medium) 20 min after infection. Production of progeny phage was about fourfold slower in down-shifted cultures than in the cultures in glucose medium. Shift-down did not affect the rate of phage RNA replication, as measured by the rate of incorporation...
متن کاملEncapsidation of heterologous RNAs by bacteriophage MS2 coat protein.
The RNA bacteriophages of E. coli specifically encapsidate a single copy of the viral genome in a protein shell composed mainly of 180 molecules of coat protein. Coat protein is also a translational repressor and shuts off viral replicase synthesis by interaction with a RNA stem-loop containing the replicase initiation codon. We wondered whether the translational operator also serves as the vir...
