Tail assembly chaperone - programmed frameshift

| posted 03 Jun, 2023 14:27
All AZ phages found so far have a tail assembly chaperone with a programmed translational frameshift. The tail assembly chaperone is typically found in the left arm of the genome around gp14-16.

Frameshifts are a -1. See example for MaGuCo. Ribosomal Slippage is boxed in red, with the arrow pointing at the shared (-1) nucleotide. See Bionformatics Guide and Video for complete information.
