Gene
FII
Protein
Head-tail connector protein FII
Organism
Escherichia phage lambda
Length
117 amino acids
Function
Plays a role in virion assembly by joining the head and the tail at the last step of morphogenesis. Six FII proteins probably bind protein W that closes the DNA-filled capsid, as well as the U tail terminator protein of the pre-assembled tail.
