Structural highlights 8xck is a 6 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia coli and Escherichia phage Lambda. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance. Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 2.75Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function TIPJ_LAMBD Attaches the virion to the host receptor LamB, inducing viral DNA ejection. During tail assembly, initiates distal tail tip assembly by interacting with gpI, gpL and gpK. During virus entry to host cell, binds strongly to host LamB in an irreversible attachment. The binding induces structural changes in the tail leading to viral DNA injection through LamB trimeric pore.
