Structure of the small outer capsid protein, Soc: a clamp for stabilizing capsids of T4-like phages.

Journal of molecular biology - 29 Jan 2010

Abstract excerpt

Many viruses need to stabilize their capsid structure against DNA pressure and for survival in hostile environments. The 9-kDa outer capsid protein (Soc) of bacteriophage T4, which stabilizes the virus, attaches to the capsid during the final stage of maturation. There are 870 Soc molecules that act as a "glue" between neighboring hexameric capsomers, forming a "cage" that stabilizes the T4 capsid against...
