The outer sheath of the tail fiber is a bit stiff

Home / The outer sheath of the tail fiber is a bit stiff

Upon attachment to a bacterial cell, the sheath contracts, driving the tail tube through the host's cell envelope and injecting the viral genome into the cell. The subunits that form three of the six neighbouring helices (pink, A; blue, B; and green, C) within the sheath are shown as surface representations of (A) the extended and (B) the contracted sheath. Structurally these viruses have a prolate icosahedral capsid (the head) attached at one vertex to a long.

During the infection process, it is thought that the binding of the long tail fibers to the cell surface induces a conformational change in the baseplate (going from the high energy, dome-shaped state to the low
