P23p88

Gene
P23p88
Protein
Decoration protein
Organism
Thermus virus P23-45
Length
146 amino acids
Function
Cooperatively binds the expanded capsid, thereby stabilizing the mature capsid shell and allowing the large viral DNA to be packaged (PubMed:30737287). Trimers of capsid decoration proteins molecules are located at local and icosahedral threefold axes and stabilize the expanded capsid, which shows increased spacing between capsomers (PubMed:30737287).
