Characterization of the bacteriophage T4 gene 41 DNA helicase.
The T4 gene 41 protein and the gene 61 protein function together as a primase-helicase within the seven protein bacteriophage T4 multienzyme complex that replicates duplex DNA in vitro. We have previously shown that the 41 protein is a 5' to 3' helicase that requires a single-stranded region on the 5' side of the duplex to be unwound and is stimulated by the 61 protein (Venkatesan, M., Silver L...
متن کاملDivergence of a DNA replication gene cluster in the T4-related bacteriophage RB69.
The genomes of bacteriophages T4 and RB69 are phylogenetically related but diverge in nucleotide sequence at many loci and are incompatible with each other in vivo. We describe here the biological implications of divergence in a genomic segment that encodes four essential DNA replication proteins: gp45 (sliding clamp), gp44/62 complex (clamp loader), and gp46 (a recombination protein). We have ...
متن کاملCoordinated DNA Replication by the Bacteriophage T4 Replisome
The T4 bacteriophage encodes eight proteins, which are sufficient to carry out coordinated leading and lagging strand DNA synthesis. These purified proteins have been used to reconstitute DNA synthesis in vitro and are a well-characterized model system. Recent work on the T4 replisome has yielded more detailed insight into the dynamics and coordination of proteins at the replication fork. Since...
متن کاملDNA helicase requirements for DNA replication during bacteriophage T4 infection.
The lytic bacteriophage T4 uses multiple mechanisms to initiate the replication of its DNA. Initiation occurs predominantly at replication origins at early times of infection, but there is a switch to genetic recombination-dependent initiation at late times of infection. The T4 insertion-substitution system was used to create a deletion in the T4 dda gene, which encodes a 5'-3' DNA helicase tha...
متن کاملExpression of a DNA replication gene cluster in bacteriophage T4: genetic linkage and the control of gene product interactions.
The results of this study bear on the relationship between genetic linkage and control of interactions between the protein products of different cistrons. In T4 bacteriophage, genes 45 and 44 encode essential components of the phage DNA replication multiprotein complex. T4 gene 45 maps directly upstream of gene 44 relative to the overall direction of reading of this region of the phage chromoso...
