Proteins homologous to the protein NPS (neck passage structure) are widespread among lactococcal phages. We investigated the hypothesis that NPS is involved in the infection of phage TP901-1 by analysis of an NPS- mutant. NPS was determined to form a collar-whisker complex but was shown to be nonessential for infection, phage assembly, and stability.
与NPS(颈部通道结构)蛋白同源的蛋白质广泛存在于乳球菌噬菌体中。我们通过分析一个NPS突变体来研究NPS参与噬菌体TP901-1感染的假说。已确定NPS形成一种衣领-须状复合体,但结果表明它对于感染、噬菌体组装和稳定性并非必不可少。
