Functional Families

Overview of the Structural Clusters (SC) and Functional Families within this CATH Superfamily. Clusters with a representative structure are represented by a filled circle.

Superfamily: Small outer capsid protein Soc

This superfamily consists of 2 alpha helices and 6 beta strands.

Small outer capsid protein stabilises T4 capsids after the majority of the capsid assembly stages, and helps to stabilise T4 against high temperatures and pH extremes by binding the capsid surface at interfaces between Gp23 hexameric capsomers.
