Isolation and Characterization of Two Basic Internal Proteins from the T-Even Bacteriophages 1

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Two species of basic internal proteins were found in osmotic shock supernatant solutions of bacteriophages T4B, T4D, T2H, T2L, and T6. The major species of protein isolated had a molecular weight of approximately 21,000 daltons, whereas the minor protein molecular weight was near 9,500 daltons. The two protein species exhibited unique isoelectric points and amino acid compositions. The 21,000-dalton protein of T2L showed major electrophoretic and compositional differences from the other 21,000-dalton proteins isolated. Similarities between the 21,000-dalton proteins and phage lysozyme are discussed.
