Identification of the products of bacteriophage P22 genes, including a new late gene

The Chromosome of Shigella flexneri Bacteriophage Sf6: Complete Nucleotide Sequence, Genetic Mosaicism, and DNA Packaging

“…Any such interaction must be transient because, like the scaffolding protein, no molecules of the gene 14-type protein have been found in the virions of P22. 57,58 Presumably the same is true of the virions of Sf6 and HK620. Since P22 gene 14 is helpful but not always essential, 58 it could be a useful gene that has only recently "invaded" the genomes of this type of phage.…”

“…57,58 Presumably the same is true of the virions of Sf6 and HK620. Since P22 gene 14 is helpful but not always essential, 58 it could be a useful gene that has only recently "invaded" the genomes of this type of phage. However, if this were true it is difficult to imagine how the separate gene 14 invasions of all three phage ended up in precisely the same location.…”

Bacteriophage Protein–Protein Interactions

“…7) (Botstein et al ., 1973; Eppler et al ., 1991; King et al ., 1973; Poteete and King, 1977; Youderian and Susskind, 1980). Some P22-like phages, for example, phages ε34 and L, have a 15th virion assembly gene, dec , at the promoter proximal end of the cluster, whose encoded protein “decorates” the outside of the head and stabilizes it (Gilcrease et al ., 2005; Tang et al ., 2006; Villafane et al ., 2008).…”

Cloning, sequencing, and overexpression of gene 16 of salmonella bacteriophage P22

“…2. From analysis of proteins from P22 phages it is known that gp16 has a molecular weight in the range of 67,000-69,000 (Youderian and Susskind, 1980 encode a protein of such a molecular weight. The open reading frame starts at nucleotide 377 and ends at nucleotide 2203 (Fig.…”
