== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CHMA_BPGOS CHMA_BPGOS] Self-assembles to forms a proteinaceous shell that encloses the viral DNA and compartmentalizes proteins and DNA during viral infection (Probable). This micrometer-scale compartment contains narrow pores and is the site of viral replication, with the proteins involved in DNA replication localized inside (By similarity). Provides a surface for docking of capsids during packaging (By similarity). Probably protects the viral genome against host defenses (Probable).[UniProtKB:B3FIW8]<ref>PMID:35922510</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Bacteria encode myriad defences that target the genomes of infecting bacteriophage, including restriction-modification and CRISPR-Cas systems(1). In response, one family of large bacteriophages uses a nucleus-like compartment to protect its replicating genomes by excluding host defence factors(2-4). However, the principal composition and structure of this compartment remain unknown. Here we find that the bacteriophage nuclear shell assembles primarily from one protein, which we name chimallin (ChmA). Combining cryo-electron tomography of nuclear shells in bacteriophage-infected cells and cryo-electron microscopy of a minimal chimallin compartment in vitro, we show that chimallin self-assembles as a flexible sheet into closed micrometre-scale compartments. The architecture and assembly dynamics of the chimallin shell suggest mechanisms for its nucleation and growth, and its role as a scaffold for phage-encoded factors mediating macromolecular transport, cytoskeletal interactions, and viral maturation.
