terminase small subunit
Terminase, the DNA packaging enzyme of bacteriophage lambda, is a heteromultimer composed of subunits Nu1 and A. The smaller Nu1 terminase subunit has a low-affinity ATPase stimulated by non-specific DNA [1]. [1]. 10600592. A mutation correcting the DNA interaction defects of a mutant phage lambda terminase, gpNu1 K35A terminase. Hwang Y, Feiss M;. Virology 1999;265:196-205. (from Pfam)
terminase small subunit binds to the packaging signal on DNA, allowing the terminase large subunit to cleave phage DNA and thread it through the portal protein channel into the procapsid, powered by ATP hydrolysis
