Function
[VGF_BPAL3] F protein is the major capsid component. [VGJ_BPAL3] The J protein is associated with the DNA and is situated in an interior cleft of the F protein (By similarity). [G_BPAL3] Attaches the circulating virion to the bacterial lipopolysaccharides which serve as receptor for the virus. Determines the phage host-range. Probably triggers with protein H the injection of the phage DNA into the host cytoplasm upon conformational changes induced by the interaction with host lipopolysaccharides (By similarity).
