Abstract: A hexamer of the bacteriophage T4 tail terminator protein, gp15, attaches to the top of the phage tail stabilizing the contractile sheath and forming the interface for binding of the independently ...A hexamer of the bacteriophage T4 tail terminator protein, gp15, attaches to the top of the phage tail stabilizing the contractile sheath and forming the interface for binding of the independently assembled head. Here we report the crystal structure of the gp15 hexamer, describe its interactions in T4 virions that have either an extended tail or a contracted tail, and discuss its structural relationship to other phage proteins. The neck of T4 virions is decorated by the "collar" and "whiskers", made of fibritin molecules. Fibritin acts as a chaperone helping to attach the long tail fibers to the virus during the assembly process. The collar and whiskers are environment-sensing devices, regulating the retraction of the long tail fibers under unfavorable conditions, thus preventing infection. Cryo-electron microscopy analysis suggests that twelve fibritin molecules attach to the phage neck with six molecules forming the collar and six molecules forming the whiskers.

2fibritin1Twelve fibritin molecules attach to the bacteriophage T4 neck with six molecules forming the phage collar and six molecules forming the whiskers. The model of fibritin comprises the crystal structure of the N-terminal comain (Boudko et al., 2004, J. Mol. Biol. 339, 927-935), the crystal structure of the C-terminal domain (Tao et al., 1997, Structure 5, 789-798), and the central region, modeled with segments of triple-helical coiled coil (Letarov et al., 2005, J. Bacteriol. 187, 1055-1066).

Bacteriol. 187, 1055-1066). These parts of the fibritin structure were fitted into the cryo-EM density using the program CHIMERA (Pettersen et al., 2004, J. Computat. Chem. 25, 1605-1612). Chains A, B, and C correspond to one fibritin molecule located in the phage collar. Chains D, E, and F correspond to one fibritin molecule forming the whisker.

Jan 31, 2019. EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

EMDB accession codes are about to change! (news from PDBe EMDB page)

  • The allocation of 4 digits for EMDB accession codes will soon come to an end. Whilst these codes will remain in use, new EMDB accession codes will include an additional digit and will expand incrementally as the available range of codes is exhausted. The current 4-digit format prefixed with “EMD-” (i.e. EMD-XXXX) will advance to a 5-digit format (i.e. EMD-XXXXX), and so on. It is currently estimated that the 4-digit codes will be depleted around Spring 2019, at which point the 5-digit format will come into force.
  • The EM Navigator/Yorodumi systems omit the EMD- prefix.
