1pdi

Fitting of the C-terminal part of the short tail fibers into the cryo-EM reconstruction of T4 baseplate

Loading... Status: waiting for Mol* initialization Structural highlights 1pdi is a 18 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia virus T4. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 12Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function FIB12_BPT4 Structural component of the short tail fiber. Adhesion protein that binds irreversibly to the lipopolysaccharides component (LPS) on the cell surface of Escherichia coli B strains during virus attachment. After at least three long tail fibers have bound, short tail fibers extend and bind irreversibly to the core region of the host cell LPS. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
