Abstract
Abstract: The three-dimensional (3-D) structure of the bacteriophage MM extended tail has been determined from electron micrographs of negatively stained specimens and compared with 3-D models of coprocessed extended bacteriophage T4 tails. Accordingly, the phage MM extended tail exhibits an axial repeat of 3.8 nm and can be indexed according to the integer helical selection rule l = -3n + 7m (n = 6n′) compared to 4.1 nm and l = -2n + 7m (n = 6n′) for the T4 phage tail. Compared to the T4 tail sheath, which reveals a stacked-disk-like appearance, the MM tail exhibits a more open structure, yielding an arrow-head-like appearance. Although the phage MM extended tail sheath is more stable than the T4 tail sheath under low-ionic-strength conditions, various chemical treatments of the MM tail sheath revealed responses, notably disassembly and contraction, similar to those previously described for the T4 tail sheath. Extended tails and their structural components contained in phage lysates or prepared by chemical degradation were compared in the EM, and the mass-per-length values of extended tails and tail tubes were determined by quantitative scanning transmission electron microscopy and compared to the corresponding values computed from the respective 3-D mass density maps. Accordingly, masses of 111 and 135 kDa/nm were obtained for the MM and T4 phage tail sheaths, respectively, with the corresponding tail tubes calculated at 19.3 and 25.5 kDa/nm, respectively. Although negative staining and freeze drying/metal shadowing of the two tails revealed different extended tail sheath structures, freeze-dried/metal-shadowed specimens of their contracted tails revealed very similar 6-fold symmetric axial repeats, with the subunits arranged on a pseudo-12-fold symmetric surface lattice following the integer helical selection rule l = n + 11m. In both cases tail contraction started at the baseplate and propagated headward as a wave forming a contraction gradient with a sharp boundary.
