Bacteriophage f1 Infection: Fate of the Parental Major Coat Protein

Henry Smilowitz 1
PMCID: PMC355263  PMID: 4590021

Abstract

The major coat protein of infecting f1 phage is incorporated into the inner membrane of the host cell, even in the absence of phage f1DNA penetration and replication. The major coat protein monomers are reutilized in the assembly of new phage. They are not conserved as a single unit but behave as independent units which are slowly incorporated into newly manufactured phage.
