4jiw | pdb_00004jiw
From Proteopedia
c1882 PAAR-repeat protein from Escherichia coli in complex with a VgrG-like beta-helix that is based on a fragment of T4 gp5
Function
[VG05_BPT4] Tail-associated lysozyme essential for localized hydrolysis of bacterial cell wall necessary for viral DNA injection. The needle-like gp5 protein punctures the outer cell membrane and then digests the peptidoglycan cell wall in the periplasmic space.
