A [auth D]PF05268Phage tail fibre adhesin Gp38 (GP38)Phage tail fibre adhesin Gp38This family contains several Gp38 proteins from T-even-like phages. Gp38, together with a second phage protein, gp57, catalyses the organisation of gp37 but is absent from the phage particle. Gp37 is responsible for receptor recognition [1]. Domain
