Potential minor capsid protein

| posted 01 Feb, 2024 05:34
Hello,

We are currently annotating phage Crisis(cluster EC) and I'm asking for advice on making a call for gp34 (19,345-19,749). There are no hits on Phagesdb BLAST or NCBI BLAST but there's strong evidence for a minor capsid protein from HHPRED.

The probability is 99.4%, coverage of 94.77% and an e-value of 2.3e-12. In terms of location within the genome, gp34 is in between the head-to-tail adaptor and the tail assembly chaperone. None of the other cluster EC phages have made this call so I'm hesitant to call it the minor capsid protein. Any suggestions or advice are welcomed.

Hi Arturo,

Please don't call it based on the data that is showing up at this point.
Best,
