UniProtKB entry P03742 (GP35_BPT4)
-
gp35 is a structural component of the long tail fiber that forms the hinge (kneecap) between the proximal and distal half-fibers.
"Structural component of the distal-half of the long-tail fiber. The long-tail fiber of T4 is about 1600 Angstroms long with a kink in the middle that divides the fiber into proximal and distal halves. The latter hinge is probably composed of gp35 protein."

gp35 is the sole monomeric component of the (gp34)3(gp35)1(gp36)3(gp37)3 long tail fiber, capping the gp36 trimer to license joining with the gp34 proximal half-fiber.
"Gene 35 of *Enterobacteria phage T4* encodes gp35, a **monomeric hinge (“kneecap”) structural protein** of the phage **long tail fiber (LTF)**."
