Revised Manuscript Received November 30, 1993® abstract: Data have been obtained for the Pfl virionthat establish its stoichiometry and conformational features of its DNA and its protein. The absorbance spectrum of the dissociated virus under alkaline denaturing conditions is fit exactly by spectra for DNA and protein at a mole ratio of one nucleotide per protein subunit. This result, together with three previous values by independent methods, establishes that the nucleotide/subunit ratio (n/s) of Pfl is unity. Theabsorbance spectrum of DNA in the intact native virus is assigned as the spectrum for heat denatured Pfl DNA, with<(P)= 8400 M"* 1 cm-1 at 259 nm. The absorbance spectrum assigned to protein (two tyrosines) in the intact virus has< e (Y))= 2500 M_l cm" 1 per tyrosine at Xmax of 281.5 nm; this is the most red-shifted and hyperchromic tyrosine spectrum known. The CD spectrum of the intact virus from 250 to 320 nm has no apparent DNA contribution, but has a strong contribution from the red-shifted tyrosine (s). The CD spectrum from 185 to 250 nm has the shape of a-helical CD reference spectra, but is perceptibly blue-shifted, with a crossover from negative to positive ellipticity at 199.7 nm, and it has very high amplitudes (eg [02O7. 5nm]=-44 000 deg cm2 dmol1). This spectrum indicates completely helical protein in the virus, with a predominance of a-helix and perhaps some 3| o-helix. The unit n/s ratio, the high absorbance and negligiblenear-UV CD for the DNA bases, and the high amplitudes for the helical protein are critical input data for the determination of Pfl virus structure.Pfl virus, which infects Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain K, is the longest of allknown filamentous viruses (Takeya & Amako, 1966; Bradley, 1973). An electron micrograph of a single virion, displaying itsextreme length (2000 nm) and small diameter (less than 7 nm), is shownin Figure 1, together with a diagram of the relation of the DNA and protein. The topologically circular single-stranded genome of 7349 nu-cleotides (Hill et al., 1991) extends from one end of the virion to the other and back again, forming two antiparallel strands
