Protein Family Models

This bacterial family of proteins contains phage tail tube proteins related to the Mu phage protein Swiss:P79679 [1]. Bacteriophage Mu has an eicosahedral head and contractile tail. The tail is composed of an outer sheath and an inner tube. [1]. 9714755. Discovery of the tail tube gene of bacteriophage Mu and sequence analysis of the sheath and tube genes.
