| T1 |
0-122 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Biochemical characterization of an ATPase activity associated with the large packaging subunit gp17 from bacteriophage T4. |
| T2 |
123-373 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Double-stranded DNA-packaging in icosahedral bacteriophages is believed to be driven by a packaging "machine" constituted by the portal protein and the two packaging/terminase proteins assembled at the unique portal vertex of the empty prohead shell. |
| T3 |
374-545 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Although ATP hydrolysis is evidently the principal driving force, which component of the packaging machinery functions as the translocating ATPase has not been elucidated. |
| T4 |
546-648 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Evidence suggests that the large packaging subunit is a strong candidate for the translocating ATPase. |
| T5 |
649-835 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We have constructed new phage T4 terminase recombinants under the control of phage T7 promoter and overexpressed the packaging/terminase proteins gp16 and gp17 in various configurations. |
| T6 |
836-1009 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The hexahistidine-tagged-packaging proteins were purified to near homogeneity by Ni(2+)-agarose chromatography and were shown to be highly active for packaging DNA in vitro. |
| T7 |
1010-1103 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The large packaging subunit gp17 but not the small subunit gp16 exhibited an ATPase activity. |
| T8 |
1104-1202 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Although gp16 lacked ATPase activity, it enhanced the gp17-associated ATPase activity by >50-fold. |
| T9 |
1203-1299 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The gp16 enhancement was specific and was due to an increased catalytic rate for ATP hydrolysis. |
| T10 |
1300-1438 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A phosphorylated gp17 was demonstrated under conditions of low catalytic rates but not under high catalytic rates in the presence of gp16. |
| T11 |
1439-1612 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The data are consistent with the hypothesis that a weak ATPase is transformed into a translocating ATPase of high catalytic capacity after assembly of the packaging machine. |
