Structural highlights
1gpc is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia virus T4. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
SSB_BPT4 Single-stranded DNA-binding protein that participates in viral DNA replication, recombination, and repair (Probable). Coats the lagging-strand ssDNA as the replication fork advances (PubMed:9079662). Stimulates the activities of viral DNA polymerase and DnaB-like SF4 replicative helicase, probably via its interaction with the helicase assembly factor (PubMed:14871889). Together with DnaB-like SF4 replicative helicase and the helicase assembly factor, promotes pairing of two homologous DNA molecules containing complementary single-stranded regions and mediates homologous DNA strand exchange (PubMed:11459967). Promotes also the formation of joint molecules (PubMed:9079662). mRNA specific autogenous translational repressor (PubMed:15507125).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04152][1][2][3][4][5]
