S-TIP37 Head-Tail Connector
Usage and Biology
S-TIP 37 is a T7-like cyanophage that virally infects its host via a lytic life cycle. T7-like phages are characterized by a complex symmetrical structure whose major structures are an icosahedral capsid (head) that houses the phage's virus, six tail-like fibers responsible for attachment to its host, and a "neck" region.
This part belongs to a collection that codes for a "ghost" phage shell that can be used to immobilize or deliver substances, to Synechococcus sp WH8109 or other emerging chassis in synthetic biology and cyanobacterial engineering.
caption A labelled visual detailing the various structures of a T7-like phage
The Head-Tail Connector codes for the "neck" region of a T7-like phage. The "neck" serves two main purposes, binding the icosahedral capsid to the tail-like fibers and containing the molecular machinery that is responsible for injecting its contents into the target cyanobacteria.
