case <OC:Lederbergvirus>
FUNCTIONThe terminase large subunit acts as an ATP driven molecular motor necessary for viral DNA translocation into empty capsids and as an endonuclease that cuts the viral genome to initiate and to end a packaging reaction. The terminase lies at a unique vertex of the procapsid and is composed of two subunits, a small terminase subunit involved in viral DNA recognition (packaging sequence), and a large terminase subunit possessing endonucleolytic and ATPase activities. Both terminase subunits heterooligomerize and are docked on the portal protein to form the packaging machine. The terminase large subunit exhibits endonuclease activity and cleaves the viral genome concatemer once the capsid is full (headful packaging). Once the capsid is packaged with the DNA, the terminase complex is substituted by the tail.

case <FTGroup:1>
COFACTOR Name=Mg(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:18420; Note=Nuclease activity probably requires 2 Mg(2+) ions per subunit.
end case
SUBUNITInteracts with the terminase small subunit; the active complex is composed of a monomer of the terminase large subunit and a nonamer ring of terminase small subunits. Interacts with the portal protein; this interaction allows the packaging of viral DNA.
DOMAINThe ATPase region is in the N-terminus, whereas the nuclease region is in the C-terminus.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the Lederbergvirus large terminase family.
