Three-point tail fiber

RCSB PDB

In this study, we have determined the structure of the alternative tail fiber subunit, gp52, and compared it with other tail fibers. The results revealed that Mu phage employs different structural motifs for two

Phage tail fibre assembly proteins employ a modular structure to drive

We demonstrate that Tfa forms a stable complex with the tail fibre, and present a 2.1 Å resolution X-ray crystal structure of this complex.

What Are Tail Fibers and Why Are They Important?

Tail fibers are structures on the phage that mediate their initial interaction with bacterial hosts, allowing them to recognize and attach to the bacterial surface.

Understanding Bacteriophage Tail Fiber

In this review, we comprehensively summarize how the tail fibers of the T4 phage recognize host surface receptors at single-molecule and atomic levels.

Structural Insights into the Chaperone-Assisted Assembly of a

In this study, we report the cryo-EM structure of the simplified tail fiber complexed with its chaperone from the myocyanophage Pam3, which provides insights into the assembly mechanism of the tail

Tail Fiber: Types, Functions, and Common Interfaces

A tail fiber, also known as a fiber optic patch cord, consists of a connector on one end and a cut end of the fiber optic cable core on the other. These patch cords are primarily used to

Structural Insights into the Chaperone-Assisted

In this study, we report the cryo-EM structure of the simplified tail fiber complexed with its chaperone from the myocyanophage Pam3, which provides insights into

RBPseg: Toward a complete phage tail fiber structure atlas

Here, we introduce RBPseg, a method that combines monomeric ESMFold predictions with a structural-based domain identification approach, to divide tail fiber sequences into manageable

Architecture of the bacteriophage lambda tail: Structure

Its main role is to serve as an adaptor, connecting the 6-fold symmetric tail tube to the 3-fold symmetric central fiber protein (CFP). The CFP is attached to the BHP and is responsible for

Determination of the three-dimensional structure of bacteriophage Mu

The Mu phage can recognize lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the host cell surface via its tail fibers. LPS is a component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria and consists of three

Asymmetric Structure of Podophage GP4 Reveals a Novel

In this study, we identified a new structure of the podophage with three types of tail fibers, and such phages with different types of fibers may have a broad host range and/or infect host cells
