| Primary Identifier | IPR045362 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | CIS_spike_tip |
| description | Contractile injection systems (CISs) are cell-puncturing nanodevices that share ancestry with contractile tail bacteriophages. This entry represents the spike tip protein from a extracellular CIS present in bacteria.This protein family includes the Pvc10 (the homologue of T4 gp5.4). This monomeric protein was part of a CryoEM structure and although not resolved at atomic resolution in the map, it was observed to form the sharp conical tip on the Pvc8 spike []. |
