    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Virology
    • Structural Biology

    Background:

    • Bacteriophage T1 assembly involves complex protein interactions to form infectious particles.
    • Understanding phage morphogenesis is crucial for fields ranging from genetic engineering to antiviral therapies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify major structural proteins of bacteriophage T1.
    • To characterize intermediate structures in phage T1 head assembly.
    • To propose a model for bacteriophage T1 head morphogenesis.

    Main Methods:

    • Sedimentation analysis to study phage-related structures.
    • Electron microscopy for visualizing phage morphology.
    • Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis to identify phage polypeptides.

    Main Results:

    • Polypeptides P7 and P11 identified as major head proteins; P10 as the major tail protein.
    • A DNA-free prohead structure containing P7 was observed.
    • Mutant analysis revealed specific gene functions in head and tail formation, and prohead/empty head production.

    Conclusions:

    • A tentative pathway for bacteriophage T1 head assembly is proposed, involving prohead formation and stabilization.
    • The T1 gene 13.3 product (P11) is analogous to phage lambda's gene D protein, stabilizing head filling.
    • Empty heads likely result from the breakdown of DNA-filled heads.
