== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The T5 family of viruses are tailed bacteriophages characterized by a long non-contractile tail. The bacteriophage DT57C is closely related to the paradigmal T5 phage, though it recognizes a different receptor (BtuB) and features highly divergent lateral tail fibers (LTF). Considerable portions of T5-like phages remain structurally uncharacterized. Here, we present the structure of DT57C determined by cryo-EM, and an atomic model of the virus, which was further explored using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations. The structure revealed a unique way of LTF attachment assisted by a dodecameric collar protein LtfC, and an unusual composition of the phage neck constructed of three protein rings. The tape measure protein (TMP) is organized within the tail tube in a three-stranded parallel alpha-helical coiled coil which makes direct contact with the genomic DNA. The presence of the C-terminal fragment of the TMP that remains within the tail tip suggests that the tail tip complex returns to its original state after DNA ejection. Our results provide a complete atomic structure of a T5-like phage, provide insights into the process of DNA ejection as well as a structural basis for the design of engineered phages and future mechanistic studies.
