Figure 2. Assembly and misassembly of bacteriophage P22.

Figure 2

In a normal infection, P22 coat protein assembles into mature, infectious phage (A, E) through a morphogenic pathway that includes an internal scaffolding protein-containing T = 7 procapsid. Aberrant assembly products are formed in the absence of scaffolding protein (B) or can be caused by amino acid substitutions in coat protein at F170 (C) or A285 (D).
