UniProtKB record for P13335 (26_BPT4)
-
gp26 functions in bacteriophage T4 baseplate hub assembly during tail morphogenesis and has been detected in the baseplate of virions following proteolytic removal of residues 1-5.
"FUNCTION: Baseplate hub assembly chaperone involved in the tail assembly."
Deep research summary for Bacteriophage T4 gene 26 (gp26)
-
Gene 26 is required for central baseplate hub assembly and its product was identified by N-terminal sequencing of purified tube-baseplate complexes lacking the first five N-terminal residues.
"Genetic evidence places gene 26 among “group II” baseplate genes required to form the central part (hub/plug) of the baseplate."
