Protein
Probable tail assembly protein gp41
Organism
Escherichia phage Mu
Function
Required for tail assembly (Probable). Together with FS-gp41, may act as a chaperone mediating the interaction between the tape measure protein (TMP) and the tail tube protein (TTP) thereby directing the polymerization of TTP to form a tail of the correct length (Potential).
Similarity
Belongs to the mulikevirus tail assembly protein family.
