Protein Family Models

This family represents the phage-tail assembly chaperone proteins from a small set of Siphoviridae from Gammaproteobacteria. TACs are required for the morphogenesis of all long-tailed phages. The proposed function for the TAC is to coat the tape-measure protein to prevent it from forming unproductive complexes or precipitating before the tail tube protein has been incorporated [1].
