Full Length Bacteriophage P22 Portal Protein
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 21499245
Function
[PORTL_BPP22] Required for successful condensation of DNA within the capsid. Gp1 is a minor structural protein. The portal protein is present as a single ring-shaped dodecamer located at the point where tails attach. It is through this ring that DNA is thought to enter the prohead.
About this Structure
