S-TIP37 Head-Tail Connector

Usage and Biology

S-Tip 37 is a type of cyanophage that classify as a T7-like phage. A T7 phage is a bacteriophage that virally infects its host via a lytic life cycle. This bacteriophage is characterized by a complex symetrical sturture that has a few major structures: an icosahedral capsid (head) that houses the phage's virus, six tail-like fibers responsible for attachment to its host and "neck" region.

The Head-Tail Connector is a part that codes for this "neck" region. The "neck" serves many purposes such as binding the icosahederal capsid to the tail-like fibers. It also serves as the region responsible for infection?
