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 spp 11901 for emerging chassis in synthetic biology.

The Head-Tail Connector is a part that codes for the "neck" region of a T7-like phage. The "neck" serves many purposes such as binding the icosahedral capsid to the tail-like fibers. It contains the molecular machinery that is responsible for injecting its content into the cyanobacteria.
