Structure of bundled tail fibers

Structure of the intact tail machine of Anabaena myophage A-1(L)

Following our recent report on the capsid structure of A-1 (L), here we present the high-resolution cryo-EM structure of its intact tail machine including the neck, tail and attached...

Structure of the siphophage neck–Tail complex suggests that

Siphophages have a long, flexible, and noncontractile tail that connects to the capsid through a neck. The phage tail is essential for host cell recognition and virus–host cell interactions;

RBPseg: Toward a complete phage tail fiber structure atlas

Here, we introduce RBPseg, a method that combines monomeric ESMFold predictions with a structural-based domain identification approach, to divide tail fiber sequences into manageable fractions for

Nearly complete structure of bacteriophage DT57C reveals

Here, we present the structure of DT57C determined by cryo-EM, and an atomic model of the virus, which was further explored using all-atom molecular dynamics simulations.

Towards a complete phage tail fiber structure atlas

The Fraction 252 module first applies the sDp approach to find possible domains in the structure (ii) and the 253 sequence of these domains are arranged in consecutive pairs to create fractions (iii).

Chapter 20965

As the host receptors continuously evolve, the genes present in the tail fibers, tailspikes or tail appendages are selectively pressured to adapt to the ever-changing target, which can range from

Architecture of the bacteriophage lambda tail: Structure

Bacteriophage lambda has a double-stranded DNA genome and a long, flexible, non-contractile tail encoded by a contiguous block of 11 genes downstream of the head genes. The tail

Asymmetric Structure of Podophage GP4 Reveals a Novel

In this study, we identified a new structure of the podophage with three types of tail fibers, and such phages with different types of fibers may have a broad host range and/or infect host cells

Structural Insights into the Chaperone-Assisted Assembly of a

In this study, we report the cryo-EM structure of the simplified tail fiber complexed with its chaperone from the myocyanophage Pam3, which provides insights into the assembly mechanism of
