The tail comprises six fibers that mediate primary attachment to the host cell lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and display endorhamnosidase enzymatic activity, hydrolyzing the alpha-1,3-O-glycosidic linkage between rhamnose and galactose of the O-antigen polysaccharide. Digestion of the LPS brings the capsid near the cell outer membrane. Publication Abstract from PubMed The tailspike protein (TSP) of Salmonella typhimurium phage P22 is a part of the apparatus by which the phage attaches to the bacterial host and hydrolyzes the O antigen. It has served as a model system for genetic and biochemical analysis of protein folding. The x-ray structure of a shortened TSP (residues 109 to 666) was determined to a 2.0 angstrom resolution. Each subunit of the homotrimer contains a large parallel beta helix. The interdigitation of the polypeptide chains at the carboxyl termini is important to protrimer formation in the folding pathway and to thermostability of the mature protein.
