3j4a, resolution 12.00Å Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Structural highlights 3j4a is a 12 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia phage T7. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 12Å Experimental data: Check Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function PORTL_BPT7 Forms the portal vertex of the capsid. This portal plays critical roles in head assembly, genome packaging, neck/tail attachment, and genome ejection. The portal protein multimerizes as a single ring-shaped homododecamer arranged around a central channel.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04120]
