== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PORTL_BPMU PORTL_BPMU] Forms the portal vertex of the capsid. This portal plays critical roles in head assembly, genome packaging, neck/tail attachment, and genome ejection. The portal protein multimerizes as a single ring-shaped homododecamer arranged around a central channel. Binds to the terminase subunits to form the packaging machine. Acts as a linker between the capsid and tail. Required for attachment of the neck proteins to the capsid.<ref>PMID:11922669</ref> <ref>PMID:8599204</ref> <ref>PMID:9495752</ref>
