Determination of the three-dimensional structure of bacteriophage Mu(-) tail fiber and its characterization

In this study, we have determined the structure of the alternative tail fiber subunit, gp52, and compared it with other tail fibers. The results revealed that Mu phage employs different structural motifs for two individual tail fibers for recognizing different hosts.PMID:38382161 | DOI:10.1016/j.virol.2024.110017
