UniProt functional annotation for P69544

UniProt codes: P69544, P03669.

Organism: Enterobacteria phage M13 (Bacteriophage M13).
Taxonomy: Viruses; Monodnaviria; Loebvirae; Hofneiviricota; Faserviricetes; Tubulavirales; Inoviridae; Inovirus.
 
Function: Binds to DNA in a highly cooperative manner without pronounced sequence specificity. During synthesis of the single- stranded (progeny) viral DNA, prevents the conversion into the double- stranded replicative form. G5P is displaced by the capsid protein G8P during phage assembly on the inner bacterial membrane.
 
Subunit: Homodimer.
Similarity: Belongs to the inovirus G5P protein family. {ECO:0000305}.
