| UniProt functional annotation for P03643 | |||
| UniProt code: P03643. |
| Organism: | Enterobacteria phage phiX174 (Isolate Sanger) (Bacteriophage phi-X174). | |
| Taxonomy: | Viruses; Monodnaviria; Sangervirae; Phixviricota; Malgrandaviricetes; Petitvirales; Microviridae; Bullavirinae; Sinsheimervirus. | |
| Function: | Attaches the circulating virion to the bacterial lipopolysaccharides which serve as receptor for the virus. Determines the phage host-range. Probably triggers with protein H the injection of the phage DNA into the host cytoplasm upon conformational changes induced by the interaction with host lipopolysaccharides. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10739948, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14553915}. | |
| Subunit: | Pentamerizes and interacts with H protein, F and B pentamers to form 12S pre-assembly complex. Joining of twelve 12S complex form the procapsid. | |
| Subcellular location: | Virion. Host cytoplasm. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the microvirus G protein family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
