By in vitro complementation we have determined that gene 13 product functions during phi 29 morphogenesis after the formation of 11- particles, specifically in the functional assembly of the tail protein, p9. Protein p9 from 8- but not from 8-13- extracts assembles in vitro into either 11-13- or 12-13- particles. The action of gene 13 product on p9 for its correct assembly has to take place in vivo; no complementation of 12-13- and 9- lysates occurs in vitro. Protein p9, isolated from phi 29-infected cells, copurifies with the 13+ activity and it is present both in 13+ and 13- extracts as an aggregate with dimensions similar to those of the tail assembled in mature phage.
