TIGR01630

phage terminase large subunit C-terminal domain

NCBIfam entry
Member databaseNCBIfam (includes TIGRFAMs)
NCBIfam typefamily
Short namepsiM2_ORF9

Description

This HMM represents the C-terminal region of a set of phage proteins typically about 400-500 amino acids in length, although some members are considerably shorter. Most proteins in this family have an apparent P-loop nucleotide-binding sequence toward the N-terminus, consistent with the ATPase activity of phage terminase large subunit (TerL). The assignment as TerL is suggested by gene context in numerous phage as well as by homology to better characterized families of TerL.
