T4 bacteriophage long tail fiber protein gp37 (Modification I)
Coding sequence of the long tail fiber protein from T4 bacteriophage. The sequence has been modified in-silico for better binding to phosphoethanolamine near the receptor binding end of the protein. This is the first such modification in our series of four modifications.
Usage and Biology
The T4 bacteriophage uses its long tail fiber to recognize and bind to its receptor OmpC on the surface of E. coli cells, its cognate host. The binding is mediated by non-covalent interactions that leads to the docking of the tip of the tail fiber (protein gp37).
