1pdl

Fitting of gp5 in the cryoEM reconstruction of the bacteriophage T4 baseplate

Loading... Status: waiting for Mol* initialization Structural highlights 1pdl is a 3 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 NEEDL_BPT4 Tail-associated lysozyme of the baseplate hub that is essential for localized hydrolysis of bacterial cell wall necessary for viral DNA injection. The needle-like gp5 protein punctures the outer cell membrane and then digests the peptidoglycan cell wall in the periplasmic space. Involved in the tail assembly. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. See Also Lysozyme 3D structures
