Large rounded bundle-shaped tail fiber

Long tail fibers consist of a phage-proximal and a phage-distal rod, each around 80 nm long and attached to each other at a slight angle. Here, using a minimal myocyanophage, termed Pam3, isolated fro...

What Are Tail Fibers and Why Are They Important?

Tail fibers are protein appendages located at the distal end of a bacteriophage''s tail, extending from a structure called the baseplate. These fibers vary in length and number. For

Structure, function and assembly of the long, flexible tail of

Siphophages, accounting for ∼60% of known phages, bear a long, flexible tail that allows host recognition and safe delivery of the DNA from the capsid to the cytoplasm of the infected cell.

Tail fiber function and structure

At the far end of the tail are one or more receptor binding proteins (the tail fibers), also described as adhesins.

Bacteriophage T4 long tail fiber domains

Bacteriophage T4 initially recognizes its host cells using its long tail fibers. Long tail fibers consist of a phage-proximal and a phage-distal rod, each around 80 nm long and attached to each other at a
