FIBRITIN DELETION MUTANT E (BACTERIOPHAGE T4)
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 9261070
Function
[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').
