Gp5, C-terminal
InterPro entry
Short name | Gp5_C |
Description
This repeat composes the C-terminal part of the Bacteriophage T4 baseplate protein Gp5. This region of the protein forms a needle like projection from the baseplate that is presumed to puncture the bacterial cell membrane. Structurally three copies of the repeated region trimerise to form a β solenoid type structure
[1, 2]. This entry also includes repeats from some bacterial Vgr proteins.
