===Model of the bacteriophage T4 fibritin based on the cryo-EM reconstruction of the contracted T4 tail containing the phage collar and whiskers===

{{ABSTRACT_PUBMED_23434847}}

==Function==

[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/WAC_BPT4 WAC_BPT4]] Chaperone responsible for attachment of long tail fibers to virus particle. Forms the fibrous structure on the neck of the virion called whiskers. During phage assembly, 6 fibritin molecules attach to each virion neck through their N-terminal domains, to form a collar with six fibers ('whiskers').

==About this Structure==
