Description | This entry represents Tail tip protein M from Escherichia phage lambda (Bacteriophage lambda). Members of this protein family are found in tailed bacteriophages (Caudovirales) and in bacterial prophages mostly among Proteobacteria.TipM is part of the distal tail tip which plays a role in DNA ejection during entry, and in tail assembly initiation during exit. It may bind tail tip complex associated with tape measure protein and allow tail tube protein polymerization on top of tail tip [ ]. |
