Baseplate tail-tube junction protein gp48

UniProtKB accession:  P13339

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Baseplate protein that forms, together with gp54, the baseplate-tail tube junction. The tail tube first 2 annuli are formed by gp48 and gp54, which are in continuation of the spike complex. Involved in the tail assembly. Morphogenesis of the baseplate is completed by association of gp48 and gp54, which bind the upper part of the baseplate dome to form the platform for polymerization of the tail tube.
