Protein Domain : Tape measure protein N-terminal IPR013491

Type	Domain
Description	This entry is represented by a N-terminal domain of tape measure proteins that characterises the Caudoviruses. The characteristics of the protein distribution suggest prophage matches in addition to the phage matches.Proteins containing this domain are found either in bacteriophages or in bacteria, where they are encoded in bacteriophage and prophage regions. Most members are 800 to 1800 amino acids long, making them among the longest predicted proteins of their respective phage genomes, where they are encoded in tail protein regions. This roughly 80-residue domain described here usually begins between residue 100 and 250. Many members are known or predicted phage tail tape measure proteins, a minor tail component that regulates tail length.
