UniProtKB description: Self-assembles to forms a proteinaceous shell that encloses the viral DNA and compartmentalizes proteins and DNA during viral infection (PubMed:28082593, PubMed:28813669, PubMed:35922510). This micrometer-scale compartment contains narrow pores and is the site of viral replication, with the proteins involved in DNA replication localized inside (PubMed:28082593, PubMed:28813669, PubMed:35922510). Provides a surface for docking of capsids during packaging (PubMed:28082593, PubMed:28813669). Probably protects the viral genome against host defenses (Probable).
