Structure and Function of Hoc—A Novel Environment Sensing Device Encoded by T4 and Other Bacteriophages

Bacteriophage T4 is decorated with 155 180 Å-long fibers of the highly antigenic outer capsid protein (Hoc). In this study, we describe a near-atomic structural model of Hoc by combining cryo-electron microscopy and AlphaFold structure predictions. It consists of a conserved C-terminal capsid-bindin...
