Primary Identifier | IPR006528 | Type | Domain |
Short Name | Phage_head_morphogenesis_dom |
description | This domain is found in proteins found in the tailed bacteriophages Caudovirales and in bacterial prophages, internally or toward the C terminus.Minor head protein GP7 from Bacillus phage SPP1 is required for viral head morphogenesis []. Gp7 binds the viral DNA inside the capsid and the portal protein and may control the DNA exit from the virion []. Some other have also been identified as being involved in phage head morphogenesis []. |
