This important new technique will become even more powerful when it is applied to highly aligned fibres of the kind used for X-ray fibre diffraction, where the virion axes are all parallel (within 1°) to the fibre axis, so the orientation with respect to the fibre axis is essentially the same as the orientation with respect to the virion axis.

Filamentous phage infection: required interactions with the TolA protein. of special interest J Bacteriol. 179:1997;6464-6471 The bacterial TolA protein is necessary for Ff infection. The protein has three domains: an N-terminal membrane anchor domain, a linker domain and a C-terminal periplasmic domain. Deletion analysis shows that the linker domain helps but is not essential for infection; it appears to form an α helix (based on sequence analysis). The periplasmic domain appears to be the site of interaction with the Ff p3 protein.

Thermodynamics of the membrane insertion process of the M13 procoat protein, a lipid bilayer traversing protein containing a leader sequence. of special interest Biochemistry. 35:1996;1232-1241 The authors determine, for Ff coat protein with and without the leader sequence, the standard free energy change for in vitro partition from water to the lipid bilayer, based on measurements of fluorescence energy transfer between the tryptophan of the protein and labelled lipids. They conclude that "it is the final energy gain of the interaction of the hydrophobic portions of the folded pre-protein with the lipid chains that drives the transmembrane insertion", and that hydrophobic interactions are more important than electrostatic effects.

This is probably the closest ye1: a system in which the membrane is still intact but purified goodies, including proteins, can be introduced into the cell from outside, resulting in phage assembly. We expect great things as this system is developed further.

The Escherichia coli phage-shock-protein (psp) operon. of outstanding interest Mol Microbiol. 24:1997;255-261 The E. coli phage-shock protein (psp) operon is induced after infection by Ff, apparently as a result of the process of p4 insertion into the outer membrane. It is also induced by expression of (nonphage) homologs of p4, and by diverse other challenges, whose common feature may be that they damage the membrane proton gradient. The sequence of PspA predicts a coiled-coil motif, and PspB, C and D all contain leucine zipper motifs.
