Viral fibrous protein part of the virion fiber, which is a thin long rod like structure, unique or multiple, appended to the tail of
The predicted structure of the tail fiber revealed that the two amino acid residues are located on the surface of the tail
Download Citation | Phage Proteins Required for Tail Fiber Assembly Also Bind Specifically to the Surface of Host
Because ORF46 and ORF47 are essential for tail formation, as is the TMP (52), we propose that these three proteins form a tail
Using this approach, we generated complete tail fiber models, validated by single-particle cryo–electron microscopy of
Similar to fiber optic jumpers, tail fibers are classified into single-mode and multimode types, differing in color,
Here, we discuss the molecular mechanisms and models of the tail fibers of the well-characterized T4 phage''s
Here, we will discuss the function and dynamics of the tail of the Caudovirales. We will examine the similarities and differences of all
Tailed bacteriophages with a double-stranded DNA genome, which comprise the order of Caudovirales, account for
The crystal structure of a complex between the tail fibre and tail fibre assembly (Tfa) protein of Escherichia coli phage
Tail fibers determine the host range of a bacteriophage by binding to specific receptors on bacterial cells. They undergo
Tail fibers and tailspikes are mainly beta-structured, but structurally highly diverse. Mutation of bacteriophage receptor
The gpJ trimer not only seals the tail tip into a closed cone but also extends a central tail fiber, providing the means
Summary Bacteriophage lambda has a double-stranded DNA genome and a long, flexible, non-contractile tail encoded
Tail fiber proteins can also be used as biosensing molecules to detect particular bacterial pathogens. Studying tail
Advances in synthetic biology may soon allow a bottom-up approach for engineering custom phages or phage tail
For instance, phage T4 has two tail fiber sets: a short tail fiber (STF) formed by gp12, responsible for pseudo-
It is shown that adsorbability of T4 is regularly correlated with the extended state of the tail fibers, suggesting that in T4 fiber
The correlation of an unstable baseplate and increased ease of contraction with the reduced requirement for tail fiber
Morphogenesis of the T4 tail and tail fibers Petr G Leiman, Fumio Arisaka, Mark J van Raaij, Victor A Kostyuchenko, Anastasia A
Viral fibers play a central role in many virus infection mechanisms since they recognize the corresponding host and establish a

Bacteriophages use receptor-binding proteins (RBPs) to adhere to bacterial hosts. Understanding the structure of
Most phages package their genome in the proteinaceous capsid (or head) and have a tail attached to the capsid.
