Figure 1.
Expansion during phage maturation involves ordering of the N-terminal tails of gp10. (a) Cryo-EM structure of T7 capsid I (PDB:3J7V) [23]. (b) Exterior-shell view of asymmetric subunit in capsid I conformation. Monomer positions labelled A–F. (c) Side view of panel b. Modeled gp10 N-terminal tails (vdW representation) are on the interior of the shell. (d) Cryo-EM structure of the mature phage (PDB:3J7X) [23]. (e) Exterior-shell view of asymmetric subunit. (f) Side view of panel e. All structural representations are generated with VMD [27].
