To examine whether cleavage of the phi X174 prohead accessory protein, gpB, by the OmpT protease is required for phage development in vivo, a phage mutant lacking the OmpT cleavage site and an Escherichia coli C delta ompT strain were constructed. The results of burst size experiments suggest that neither the cleavage site nor the OmpT protein is required for phi X174 development.
为了检测OmpT蛋白酶对噬菌体φX174前头部辅助蛋白gpB的切割是否是噬菌体在体内发育所必需的,构建了一个缺乏OmpT切割位点的噬菌体突变体和一株大肠杆菌C ΔompT菌株。爆发量实验结果表明,切割位点和OmpT蛋白对于噬菌体φX174的发育都不是必需的。
