Functional relationship between the J proteins of bacteriophages phi X174 and G4 during phage morphogenesis.
The functions of the small DNA-binding protein, gpJ, of bacteriophages phi X174 and G4 were examined by in vivo cross-complementation and sucrose gradient sedimentation. The morphogenetic roles of the two proteins may differ. The phi X174 J protein may be required for the formation or stabilization of the phi X174 prohead.
