The Tip of the Tail Needle Affects the Rate of DNA Delivery by Bacteriophage P22

The P22-like bacteriophages have short tails. Their virions bind to their polysaccharide receptors through six trimeric tailspike proteins that surround the tail tip. These short tails also have a trimeric needle protein that extends beyond the tailspikes from the center of the tail tip, in a positi...
