Abstract excerpt

We have determined the three-dimensional structure of bacteriophage SPP1 portal protein (gp6) using electron microscopy at liquid-helium temperatures and angular reconstitution. The 13-fold symmetric gp6 oligomer is a turbine-shaped structure with three distinct regions: a conical stem with a central channel; the turbine wings region; and a fringe of small 'tentacles' at the end of the channel exposed to the...
