Bacteriophage T5 tail tube structure suggests a trigger mechanism for Siphoviridae DNA ejection
The vast majority of phages, bacterial viruses, possess a tail ensuring host recognition, cell wall perforation and safe viral DNA transfer from the capsid to the host cytoplasm. Long flexible tails are formed from the tail tube protein (TTP) polymerised as hexameric rings around and stacked along t...
