REFINED STRUCTURE OF THE GENE 5 DNA BINDING PROTEIN FROM BACTERIOPHAGE FDREFINED STRUCTURE OF THE GENE 5 DNA BINDING PROTEIN FROM BACTERIOPHAGE FD
Structural highlights
2gn5 is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Escherichia virus M13. This structure supersedes the now removed PDB entry 1gn5. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
G5P_BPFD Binds to DNA in a highly cooperative manner without pronounced sequence specificity. During synthesis of the single-stranded (progeny) viral DNA, prevents the conversion into the double-stranded replicative form. G5P is displaced by the capsid protein G8P during phage assembly on the inner bacterial membrane (By similarity).
