6p3e

Mobile loops and electrostatic interactions maintain the flexible lambda tail tube

Loading... Status: waiting for Mol* initialization Structural highlights 6p3e is a 18 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia virus Lambda. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 5.4Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function TUBE_LAMBD Forms the phage's tail tube composed of 32 hexameric disks. When it encounters the appropriate initiation complex gpM and gpL, it assembles in hexameric rings that stack on top of each others. Multimerization ceases when the correct tail length is achieved through a mechanism dependent on tail terminator protein.
