Function
[BP11_BPT4] Baseplate protein that is part of the baseplate wedge and that connects the short tail fibers to the baseplate (PubMed:15315755). Involved in the tail assembly.[1] [2] [BP08_BPT4] Baseplate protein that is part of the baseplate wedge. Involved in the tail assembly.[3] [4] [BP25_BPT4] Baseplate protein that is part of the outer wedges of the baseplate (PubMed:15315755). Probably plays a role as a connector between the central and peripheral parts of the baseplate. Involved in the tail assembly.[UniProtKB:P51768][5] [6] [BP07_BPT4] Baseplate protein that is part of the baseplate wedge. Involved in the tail assembly.[7] [8] [BP53_BPT4] Baseplate protein that is part of the baseplate wedge (PubMed:15315755). Involved in the tail assembly.[9] [10] [BP06_BPT4] Baseplate protein that is part of the baseplate wedge (PubMed:15315755). Involved in the tail assembly.[11] [12] [BP09_BPT4] Baseplate protein that connects the long tail fibers to the baseplate and probably triggers the tail contraction after virus attachment to a host cell (PubMed:10545330). Involved in the tail assembly (PubMed:21129200).[13] [14] [BP10_BPT4] Baseplate protein that is part of the baseplate wedge and that connects the short tail fibers to the baseplate (PubMed:16554069). During infection, the baseplate undergoes a conformational change from a dome-shaped to a star-shaped structure. At this point, gp10 rotates and acts as a lever that unfolds the short tail fibers, which then interact with host cell surface receptors. Involved in the tail assembly.[15] [16]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Several systems, including contractile tail bacteriophages, the type VI secretion system and R-type pyocins, use a multiprotein tubular apparatus to attach to and penetrate host cell membranes. This macromolecular machine resembles a stretched, coiled spring (or sheath) wound around a rigid tube with a spike-shaped protein at its tip. A baseplate structure, which is arguably the most complex part of this assembly, relays the contraction signal to the sheath. Here we present the atomic structure of the approximately 6-megadalton bacteriophage T4 baseplate in its pre- and post-host attachment states and explain the events that lead to sheath contraction in atomic detail. We establish the identity and function of a minimal set of components that is conserved in all contractile injection systems and show that the triggering mechanism is universally conserved.
