Virion export protein

UniProtKB accession:  P03666

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Acts in the assembly and extrusion of the bacteriophage by forming a channel across the host outer membrane. This channel is just large enough to allow a newly synthesized phage particle to pass through. Extrusion is a process of concomitant assembly and secretion and takes place at specific assembly sites where host inner and outer membranes are in close contacts.
