DESCRIPTION

Also known as SPAC_BPT4, sp, 61.3. Inhibits viral DNA ejection into the host cytoplasm, thereby confering the infected host bacteria with immunity against secondary phage infection (PubMed:4589853). Achieves superinfection exclusion by localizing to the periplasm and inhibiting the activity of tail-associated lysozyme, thereby preventing penetration by the tail tube of incoming phages (PubMed:32987925, PubMed:33214665). Monomer (PubMed:32876065). Interacts with the baseplate central spike protein Gp5; this interaction selectively inhibits the lysozyme activity of the baseplate central spike protein (PubMed:32987925, PubMed:33214665).
