Molecular mechanism of bacteriophage tail contraction-structure of an S-layer-penetrating bacteriophage

2023-08-04

Abstract excerpt

Viruses that infect bacteria (bacteriophages or phages) attach to the host cell envelope, inject their genetic material into the host cytosol and either persist as prophage or hijack the host machinery to produce progeny virions. Attachment is mediated through phage receptor binding proteins that are specific for different host cell surface molecules. A subset of phage, the myoviruses, possess contractile tails, t...
