Wild Type gp17 Tail Fiber Protein of Bacteriophage T7

Gp17 is the tail fiber protein of bacteriophage T7.


Usage and Biology

The tail fiber protein of bacteriophage T7 binds to the surface of its bacterial host. The binding to the host is a crucial step during infection and influences the host specifitcity. It has been shown that by exchanging the T7 tail fiber protein with its T3 homolog, the host specificity is also swapped [1].
