Characterization of the integration protein of bacteriophage lambda as a site-specific DNA-binding protein.
The Int protein specified by bacteriophage lambda is required for the recombination event that integrates the viral DNA into the host genome at its specific attachment site. Using a DNA-binding assay, we have partially purified the Int protein and studied some of the features of its binding specificity and regulation. The DNA-binding activity is attributed to Int protein because the activity is...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of the T4 bacteriophage uvsX protein.
Gene uvsX of bacteriophage T4 encodes a 40,000-dalton protein that plays a key role in the major pathway for genetic recombination in T4-infected cells. Mutations at the uvsX locus lead to increased sensitivity to various DNA-damaging agents, reduced phage bursts, decreased genetic recombination, and early arrest of DNA synthesis. Like the Escherichia coli recA protein, the purified uvsX protei...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of bacteriophage P22 Xis protein.
The temperate bacteriophages lambda and P22 share similarities in their site-specific recombination reactions. Both require phage-encoded integrase (Int) proteins for integrative recombination and excisionase (Xis) proteins for excision. These proteins bind to core-type, arm-type, and Xis binding sites to facilitate the reaction. lambda and P22 Xis proteins are both small proteins (lambda Xis, ...
متن کاملGene 18 protein of bacteriophage T7. Overproduction, purification, and characterization.
Genetic and physical analyses indicate that gene 18 protein of bacteriophage T7 is essential for packaging of T7 DNA. T7 DNA is replicated via linear intermediates, culminating in the formation of concatemers many genomes in length which are then packaged into capsids. In infections with phage carrying amber mutations in gene 18, development is blocked at the concatemer stage. Biochemical studi...
متن کاملPurification and characterization of antiviral protein from silkworm fecal matter
Antiviral proteins (AVP), present in silkworm fecal matter, show activity against nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) in vitro and in vivo. The extract of silkworm fecal matter prepared in phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.5 was subjected to 50% solid ammonium sulfate precipitation to enrich AVP, then which was dialyzed. The dialysate was applied to the column containing silica gel-G, the column e...
