Characterization of A2: The Lysis Protein of ssRNA Phage Qbeta

Lysis in cells infected with the ssRNA phage Qbeta is effected by the A2 protein. It was previously shown that a single copy of A2 assembled on the surface of the Qbeta virion inhibited the activity of MurA, which catalyzes the first committed step of murein biosynthesis. This led to a model for l...
