Protein Domain : Bacteriophage TP901-1, major tail protein IPR022363

Type	Family
Description	Two major structural proteins from the lactococcal temperate bacteriophage TP901-1 have been sequenced: the Major Head Protein (MHP) and the Major Tail Protein (MTP) [ ]. Homologues of the major tail protein have since been found in Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Lactobacillus phages. The sequences are fairly short, typically ~150-200 amino acid residues in length, and are well conserved. This family of proteins (designated here phage MTP 2) has its own distinct sequence signature that distinguishes it from the MTP 1 family (see MTP1FAMILY ). Sequences belonging to the MTP 2 family are longer than those belonging to the MTP 1 family, and are well conserved across a range of species. This entry represents the lactococcal proteins from the MTP2 family.
