description | The temperate bacteriophage P2 has four defined tail genes: V, J, W and I. Their order is the late gene promoter, VWJI, followed by the tail fibre genes H and G and then a transcription terminator. BAP V protein is the small spike at the tip of the tail and basal plate assembly protein J lies at the edge of the baseplate []. This family also includes a number of bacterial homologues, which are thought to have been horizontally transferred. |
