Role of the Small Terminase Subunit Encoded by Staphylococcus Aureus Pathogenicity Island SaPI1 in Formation of SaPI1 Transducing Particles
… by helper phage 80α. SaPI1 encodes a small terminase protein that belongs to the phage small terminase subunit family. The presence of SaPI1-encoded small terminase suggests that it plays a role in SaPI1-specific packaging into transducing particles by complexing with the 80α large terminase …

Cooperative Assembly of Terminase and Integration Host Factor at the Packaging Initiation Site of Bacteriophage Lambda
Packaging of viral genomes into procapsids by terminase enzymes is conserved in many DNA viruses. Terminases bind to linear concatemers of replicated viral genomes and concomitantly excise (mature) and package a single genome per procapsid. In this thesis, I interrogate the role of E. coli …

The role of the herpes simplex virus type 1 UL33 protein in DNA packaging
… the UL15 and UL28 gene products, forms part of a terminase enzyme responsible for catalysing this process. This thesis describes the creation and characterisation of a number of UL33 insertion mutants in an effort to examine structure-function relationships within this protein and gain further …

Structure and Function Study of Phi29 DNA packaging motor
… to acid or basic.</p><p>The ATPase or the terminase is the central part of the viral DNA packaging motor. The phi29 ATPase is highly hydrophobic and tends to aggregate in solution. A green fluorescent protein tag (eGFP) fused to the N-terminus of gp16 enhanced its solubility and stability. …
