| Description | This entry represents tape measure proteins (TMPs) found in Siphoviridae [ ]. TMP is important for assembly of phage tails and involved in tail length determination [, ]. It serves as a ruler that controls the length of tail and is ejected from the tail prior to the DNA during DNA injection [, ]. Mutated forms of TMP cause tail fibres to be shortened [].This protein is also found in bacteria, suggesting prophage matches also occur. |
