Abstract
Bacteriophage T4 is the most well-studied member of Myoviridae, the most complex family of tailed phages. T4 assembly is divided into three independent pathways: the head, the tail and the long tail fibers. The prolate head encapsidates a 172 kbp concatemeric dsDNA genome. The 925 Å-long tail is surrounded by the contractile sheath and ends with a hexagonal baseplate. Six long tail fibers are attached to the baseplate's periphery and are the host cell's recognition sensors. The sheath and the baseplate undergo large conformational changes during infection. X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy have provided structural information on protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions that regulate conformational changes during assembly and infection of Escherichia coli cells.

Abstract
We have characterized the membrane protein of apparent molecular weight 26 kD from bovine lenses (MP26 or MIP) with respect to six different electrophoretic and chromatographic procedures. These include one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoretic procedures, as well as SDS-hydroxylapatite chromatography. The two-dimensional gels include isoelectric focusing with both conventional ampholytes and buffer focusing methods. With buffer focusing, the membranes are solubilized without the use of SDS and the isoelectric focusing is performed in the absence of SDS. As specific probes for MP26, a monoclonal antibody and an anti-MP26 rabbit serum were used, the latter prepared against electrophoretically purified MP26. These separation techniques were adapted to MP26 in order to permit a more detailed characterization of this protein and to search for any heterogeneity in this size range, specifically other junctional proteins or protein fragments. We have found evidence for charge heterogeneity in MP26, but no evidence for multiple membrane proteins of Mr 26,000 in urea-treated membranes. The charge heterogeneity appears to be related to a phosphorylation of MP26. The results reported here aid the interpretation of a variety of data, especially findings on the reconstitution of MP26 in artificial membranes and results from work with polyclonal MP26 antibodies. These investigations are all designed to evaluate the proposed role of MP26 as a protein of cell-to-cell channels in the lens fiber cell.

Abstract
The DNA entrance vertex of the phage head is critical for prohead assembly and DNA packaging. A single structural protein comprises this dodecameric ring substructure of the prohead. Assembly of the phage T4 prohead occurs on the cytoplasmic membrane through a specific attachment at or near the gp20 DNA entrance vertex. An auxiliary head assembly gene product, gp40, was hypothesized to be involved in assembling the gp20 substructure. T4 genes 20, 40 and 20 + 40 were cloned into expression vectors under lambda pL promoter control. The corresponding T4 gene products were synthesized in high yield and were active as judged by their ability to complement the corresponding infecting T4 mutants in vivo. The cloned T4 gene 20 and gene 40 products were inserted into the cytoplasmic membrane as integral membrane proteins; however, gp20 was inserted into the membrane only when gp40 was also synthesized, whereas gp40 was inserted in the presence or absence of gp20. The gp20 insertion required a membrane potential, was not dependent upon the Escherichia coli groE gene, and assumed a defined membrane-spanning conformation, as judged by specific protease fragments protected by the membrane. The inserted gp20 structure could be probed by antibody binding and protein A-gold immunoelectron microscopy. The data suggest that a specific gp20-gp40-membrane insertion structure constitutes the T4 prohead assembly initiation complex.

Abstract
The products of the bacteriophage T4 capsid assembly gene 31, the T4 major capsid protein gene 23, and the Escherichia coli heat-shock groE genes participate in an interdependent mechanism in capsid protein oligomerization early in prohead assembly. Gene 31 was cloned, sequenced and expressed, and its regulation during infection was characterized. Gene 31 is more stringently required at high than at low temperature, and this requirement is reduced by temperature adaptation of the bacteria prior to infection. However, T4 gene 31 expression does not appear to be temperature regulated, nor does gene 31 apparently display sequence homology with the E. coli groE and other heat-shock genes.

Abstract
Amber mutants of bacteriophage BF23 were classified into two functional groups, types I and II, by the yields of the infecting-mutant genotypes in plate complementation tests. Type I mutants produced their genotypes at levels more than 20% of the total progeny phages, and type II mutants did so at levels of less than 5%. Comparison of the results of plate complementation tests with those of extract complementation tests revealed that all the type I mutants were defective in the tail formation, while most type II mutants were defective in the formation of either mature heads (type IIa) or both mature heads and tails (type IIb). Since in extract complementation tests the activated phages are always of genotypes corresponding to mutations defective in only the tail formation, the plate complementation test is comparable with the extract complementation test when judged on the basis of the yield of the mutant genotypes. Of 29 complementation groups, 8 type I, 14 type IIa, and 5 type IIb mutants were identified. Previously, amber mutations of BF23 were mapped on four genetic segments. These segments were ordered in one linkage map by crosses between deletion and amber mutants.

Abstract
We have isolated from the conditioned medium of an established endothelial cell line a heparan sulphate proteoglycan whose involvement in the inhibition of the extrinsic coagulation pathway was reported in previous studies [Colburn & Buonassisi (1982) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 104, 220-227]. The proteoglycan was purified by gel filtration and ion-exchange chromatography, and appears to be free of contaminating proteins as determined by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis of the radioiodinated protein core before and after removal of the glycosaminoglycan chains by treatment with heparitinase. By this procedure the Mr of the protein core was estimated to be 22000. The N-terminal end was sequenced up to amino acid 25. The 21st residue is likely to be glycosylated. Analysis of the purified proteoglycan by gel-filtration chromatography yielded Kd values of 0.2 for the whole molecule and 0.35 for the glycosaminoglycan chains. The structure that emerges from these data is that of a heparan sulphate proteoglycan characterized by a relatively small protein core and few glycosaminoglycan chains.

Abstract
A survey of DNA packaging in vivo and in vitro during infections caused by T4 DNA-delay and DNA-arrest amber mutants revealed a common DNA packaging-deficient phenotype. Electron microscopy revealed high proportions of proheads partially filled with DNA in vivo, indicating normal initiation but incomplete encapsidation. In contrast, exogenous mature T4 DNA was packaged in vitro by several early-gene mutant extracts. Detailed analysis of gene ts39 mutants (subunit of topoisomerase II) showed that in vivo packaging is defective, yet expression of late proteins appeared normal and the concatemeric DNA was not abnormally short or nicked. Although g39 amber mutant extracts packaged DNA in vitro, two of three ts39 mutant extracts prevented encapsidation of the exogenous DNA. The temperature-sensitive (ts) gp39 in a mutant topoisomerase II complex may have interfered with packaging in vivo and in vitro by interacting with DNA in an anomalous fashion, rendering it unfit for encapsidation. These results support the hypothesis that T4 DNA packaging is sensitive to DNA structure and discriminates against encapsidation of some types of defective DNA.

Abstract
Anaerobically grown cells of Escherichia coli harboring the plasmid pFRD63 over-produce fumarate reductase, a membrane-bound complex localized in the inner membrane of the cell, where this enzyme represents at least 90% of the total membrane proteins (B. D. Lemire, J. J. Robinson, and J. H. Weiner (1982) J. Bacteriol. 152, 1126-1131). Preparations of inner membrane fractions suspended in 40% sucrose are optically clear, allowing optical spectroscopic measurements. Circular dichroism spectra showed that between pH 6 and 11 the secondary structure of the enzyme is at least 55% in alpha helix and that above pH 11 the structure abruptly changes to a beta-like conformation. The same phenomenon is observed in samples solubilized in the nonionic detergent C12E9. Absorption spectra of the enzyme either membrane bound or solubilized in detergents or exposed to alkaline pH showed that the accessibility of the active site to solvent components is modulated by the interaction of the protein with the membrane. Solubilization of the membrane-bound enzyme with 1% Triton X-100 or C12E9 produced a decrease in ellipticity and in enzymatic activity.

Abstract
The relative phage yields of cells of Escherichia coli infected with both wild-type and amber mutant phages deficient in head morphogenesis were determined. The decrease in burst size as a function of the ratio of mutant:wild-type-infecting phage was linear and proportional for mutants in genes 20, 22, and 23, while for mutants in genes 21, 31, and 24 the results suggest an excess of intracellular gene product. The initiation of assembly of phage particles was not delayed at reduced gene product levels; only a reduction in the rate of phage assembly was observed. The effects on burst size of pairs of mutations in genes 20 and 23, 22 and 23, and 22 and 24, in both cis and trans arrangements, were identical. Experiments using the mutant E920g in gene 23 show that varying the kind and intracellular amounts of the major capsid protein (gp23) with respect to the major core or scaffold protein (gp22) had a profound effect on the length of the T4 head. Head length determination must therefore depend on the proper intracellular balance between these two proteins.

Abstract
T4 bacteriophage mutants called bypass31 (byp31) that specifically suppress gene 31 amber mutations have been isolated and characterized. The mechanism by which the byp31 mutation, byp31-1, suppresses gene 31 nonsense mutations does not involve synthesis of gp31 or of a particular gp31 fragment; furthermore, the byp31 allele suppresses all nonsense mutations in gene 31 that have been tested. We detect no unusual properties among the T4 particles made in su- cells by the T4amN54byp31-1 double mutant. These virions, made in the absence of gp31, show normal heat sensitivity, normal sensitivity to osmotic shock, and normal morphology. Specific different gene 31 missense mutants are able to form plaques with high efficiencies on the following two types of host defective cells: (i) Escherichia coli groEL (Tilly et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 78:1629-1633, 1981) mutants that block T4 capsid assembly and (ii) E. coli rho mutants in which T4+ heads are assembled, but in which tail production and DNA synthesis are blocked. (Note that not all rho mutants block T4 production [G. Binkowski and L. D. Simon, p. 342-350, in C. K. Mathews, E. M. Kutter, G. Mosig, and P. B. Berget, ed., Bacteriophage T4, 1983]; T4 is able to replicate in rho mutants such as rho ts15, whose principal defect is that they fail to terminate transcription.) The byp31-1 allele permits production of T4 particles in E. coli groEL host-defective mutants, but not in E. coli rho host mutants.

Abstract
T4 DNA structural requirements for encapsidation in vivo were investigated, using thin-section electron microscopy to quantitate the kinetics and yields of head intermediates after synchronous DNA packaging into accumulated processed proheads. UV irradiation (254 nm) of T4-infected bacteria just before initiation of encapsidation resulted in a reduction in the rate of DNA packaged measured by electron microscopy and in the yield of viable phage progeny. In UV-irradiated infections with excision-deficient mutants (denV-), the extent of packaging decline was proportional to the UV dose and phage yields were lower than expected based on the packaging levels observed by microscopy. Rescue analysis of progeny from such infections revealed elevated levels of nonviable virions. Pyrimidine dimers were encapsidated in denV- infections, but in excision-competent infections (denV+) dimers were not packaged. A UV-independent, 15 to 20% packaging arrest was also observed when denV endonuclease was inactive during encapsidation, indicating a denV requirement to achieve normal T4 packaging levels. Pyrimidine dimers apparently represent or induce transient blockage of DNA encapsidation or both, causing a decline in the rate. This is in contrast to other DNA structural blocks to packaging induced by mutations in T4 genes 30 and 49, which appear to arrest the process.

Abstract
Formation of the prohead core of bacteriophage T4 was not dependent on shell assembly. In mutant infections, where the production or assembly of active shell protein was not possible, naked core structures were formed. The particles were generally attached to the bacterial inner membrane and possessed defined prolate dimensions. The intracellular yield varied between 15 and 71% of a corresponding prohead yield and was dependent on the temperature of incubation. The products of genes 21 and 22 were found to be essential for in vivo core formation, whereas those of genes 20, 23, 24, 31, and 40, as well as the internal proteins I to III, were dispensable.

Abstract
The phenol-soluble proteins from leaves of healthy and viroid-infected plants were compared after separation on SDS-polyacrylamide gels. After staining with Coomassie blue, alterations in the protein patterns of infected plants were found which resulted from an increase or decrease of certain protein bands. After infection with the same viroid, different hosts show characteristic changes in the protein pattern which suggest that these alterations are host-specific rather than pathogenspecific. After infection of tomato plants with different viroid "species" a protein with the apparent MW of 14,000 (p14 tom) was found to accumulate dramatically. This protein also accumulates in tomato plants after viral and fungus infections and the rate of its accumulation is directly related to the severity of symptoms developed by the diseased plants. It is assumed, therefore, that it is a response of tomato plants to infection in general.

Abstract
The brush border, isolated from chicken intestine epithelial cells, contains the 95,000 relative molecular mass (M(r)) polypeptide, villin. This report describes the purification and characterization of villin as a Ca(++)-dependent, actin bundling/depolymerizing protein. Then 100,000 g supernatant from a Ca(++) extract of isolated brush borders is composed of three polypeptides of 95,000 (villin), 68,000 (fimbrin), and 42,000 M(r) (actin). Villin, following purification from this extract by differential ammonium sulfate precipitation and ion-exchange chromatography, was mixed with skeletal muscle F-actin. Electron microscopy of negatively stained preparations of these villin-actin mixtures showed that filament bundles were present. This viscosity, sedimentability, and ultrastructural morphology of filament bundles are dependent on the villin:actin molar ratio, the pH, and the free Ca(++) concentration in solution. At low free Ca(++) (less than 10(-6) M), the amount of protein in bundles, when measured by sedimentation, increased as the villin: actin molar ratio increased and reached a plateau at approximately a 4:10 ratio. This behavior correlates with the conversion of single actin filaments into filament bundles as detected in the electron microscope. At high free Ca(++) (more than 10(-6) M), there was a decrease in the apparent viscosity in the villin-actin mixtures to a level measured for the buffer. Furthermore, these Ca(++) effects were correlated with the loss of protein sedimented, the disappearance of filament bundles, and the appearance of short fragments of filaments. Bundle formation is also pH-sensitive, being favored at mildly acidic pH. A decrease in the pH from 7.6 to 6.6 results in an increase in sedimentable protein and also a transformation of loosly associated actin filaments into compact actin bundles. These results are consistent with the suggestions that villin is a bundling protein in the microvillus and is responsible for the Ca(++)-sensitive disassembly of the microvillar cytoskeleton. Thus villin may function in the cytoplasm as a major cytoskeletal element regulating microvillar shape.

Abstract
A mutant strain of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is shown to possess an oversized flagellar membrane protein. The mutant has paralyzed flagella, is temperature sensitive for flagellar assembly, and has an abnormal axonemal protein composition. All phenotypes appear to derive from a single Mendelian mutation, and genetic analysis suggests that the mutation, which call ts222, is in the gene pfl. Because pf1 mutants are known to have radial-spoke defects (Piperno et al., 1977, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 74:1600-1604; and Witman et al., 1978, J. Cell Biol. 76:729-797), a relation as yet undefined appears to exist between radial-spoke and flagellar membrane biogenesis.

Saturation of a specific region of a chromosome with conditional lethal mutations becomes increasingly difficult as the genome size of the organism increases. We show that mutagenesis of cloned genes followed by their re-integration into a non-mutagenized organism is a practical way to circumvent this difficulty.

Abstract
The precursors of the two T4 internal peptides have been identified by in vitro cleavage of individual phage proteins eluted from sodium dodecyl sulfate-acrylamide gels. The precursor of internal peptide VII is p22, the product of T4 gene 22 and an essential component of the morphogenic core. The precursor of peptide II is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 13,000, whose gene has yet to be defined by mutation. A newly detected protein of approximately 15,000 molecular weight is found to be cleaved and is, therefore, likely to be a component of precursor head structures.
