Protein Domain : Baseplate wedge protein gp6 IPR034698

Type  Family
Description  This family includes baseplate wedge protein gp6 (gp6) from bacteriophage T4 and its relatives. Contractile tail bacteriophages use a multiprotein tubular apparatus resembling a coiled spring wound round a rigid tube to attach to and penetrate host cell membranes. The structure known as the baseplate replays the contraction signal to the sheath [ , ]. gp6 is located next to the tail tube and is an intermediate (or inner) baseplate protein involved in tail assembly [, ]. Two molecules of gp6 form a complex with gp25 and gp7 which is involved sheath contraction [].
