Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 2.1Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function BP44_BPMU Forms the central cylindrical hub of the baseplate and plays an important role in baseplate and tail assembly (Probable). Core component of the initiator complex that triggers the tail tube polymerization during tail assembly (Probable). Forms a conduit that probably functions as an extension of the tail tube allowing viral DNA release during ejection. Might facilitate the interaction of the virus with the host cell surface through electrostatic interactions during virus entry into host cell. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
