FIBRITIN DELETION MUTANT M (BACTERIOPHAGE T4)

Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 9757094

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').

About this Structure

1avy is a 3 chain structure with sequence from Bpt4. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
