FIGURE 10.

Both the motor proteins and the DNA undergo conformational changes during DNA packaging. A, schematic of FRET between different dyes within the DNA and site of action of gp49. Portal-bound Endo VII resolvase action releases the compression from the Y-DNA substrates. B, resolvase release of trapped Y-DNAs is also correlated with increased distance (∼0.6 nm) between the terminase and portal as shown by changes in FRET between the labeled terminase and portal during packaging.
