CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF P22 TAILSPIKE PROTEIN: INTERDIGITATED SUBUNITS IN A THERMOSTABLE TRIMER
Overview
The tailspike protein (TSP) of Salmonella typhimurium phage P22 is a part, of the apparatus by which the phage attaches to the bacterial host and, hydrolyzes the O antigen. It has served as a model system for genetic and, biochemical analysis of protein folding. The x-ray structure of a, shortened TSP (residues 109 to 666) was determined to a 2.0 angstrom, resolution. Each subunit of the homotrimer contains a large parallel beta, helix. The interdigitation of the polypeptide chains at the carboxyl, termini is important to protrimer formation in the folding pathway and to, thermostability of the mature protein.
