GFP:HIV-1 protease production and packaging with a T4 phage expression-packaging processing system.
A bacteriophage T4-derived protein expression, packaging and processing system was used to create recombinant phage that encode, produce and package a protein composed of human HIV-1 protease fused to green fluorescent protein (GFP). The fusion protein is targeted within the phage capsid by an N-terminal capsid targeting sequence (CTS), which is cleaved through proteolysis by the viral scaffold...
متن کاملStaphylococcal pathogenicity island DNA packaging system involving cos-site packaging and phage-encoded HNH endonucleases.
Staphylococcal pathogenicity islands (SaPIs) are the prototypical members of a widespread family of chromosomally located mobile genetic elements that contribute substantially to intra- and interspecies gene transfer, host adaptation, and virulence. The key feature of their mobility is the induction of SaPI excision and replication by certain helper phages and their efficient encapsidation into...
متن کاملThe Structure of the Phage T4 DNA Packaging Motor Suggests a Mechanism Dependent on Electrostatic Forces
Viral genomes are packaged into "procapsids" by powerful molecular motors. We report the crystal structure of the DNA packaging motor protein, gene product 17 (gp17), in bacteriophage T4. The structure consists of an N-terminal ATPase domain, which provides energy for compacting DNA, and a C-terminal nuclease domain, which terminates packaging. We show that another function of the C-terminal do...
متن کاملSingle phage T4 DNA packaging motors exhibit large force generation, high velocity, and dynamic variability.
Terminase enzyme complexes, which facilitate ATP-driven DNA packaging in phages and in many eukaryotic viruses, constitute a wide and potentially diverse family of molecular motors about which little dynamic or mechanistic information is available. Here we report optical tweezers measurements of single DNA molecule packaging dynamics in phage T4, a large, tailed Escherichia coli virus that is a...
متن کاملSingle-molecule packaging initiation in real time by a viral DNA packaging machine from bacteriophage T4.
Viral DNA packaging motors are among the most powerful molecular motors known. A variety of structural, biochemical, and single-molecule biophysical approaches have been used to understand their mechanochemistry. However, packaging initiation has been difficult to analyze because of its transient and highly dynamic nature. Here, we developed a single-molecule fluorescence assay that allowed vis...
