RESUMO
The purification of coliphage MS2 dinitrophenol (DNP) conjugates provided a system for localization of the single molecule of A-protein in the capsid of the MS2 phage particle. Three A-protein preparations isolated from unconjugated MS2, overconjugated DNP-MS2, and purified 78S DNP-MS2 were tested for the presence of covalently bound DNP. The binding characteristics to Dowex 1-X8 and rabbit anti-DNP bovine serum albumin (DNP-BSA) immunoglobulin G of the 78S DNP-MS2 and overconjugated DNP-MS2 A-protein preparations indicate that the A-protein is located on the surface of the phage particle where it can be covalently conjugated with hapten. Extensive enzymatic iodination of the A-protein of intact unconjugated MS2 substantiates this conclusion.
