Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.44Å Ligands: CA, CL, FE Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function BP45_BPMU Component of the baseplate that forms a central needlelike spike used to puncture the host cell membrane for tube insertion during virus entry. Probably involved in baseplate and tail assembly. Serves as the distal plug of tail tube channel and might regulate the process of the phage DNA and protein ejection into the host cell.
