Annotating Begonia, a CV phage. The homolog of gene 33 (27738-28667) has been called Alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase in Lucky 10, but that is not on the approved function list. Based on location - just after a minor tail - and based on HHPred matches to Alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase, which has binding domain to arabinose as well as catalytic activity, call function minor tail protein? The Begonia protein matches this enzyme with 99.8%, covering 60% of aa sequence, and very low <10^-24 E-value |

Hi Veronique, How long is the protein, and how many other minor tail proteins have you identified already? |

309 amino acids (930 bp including stop codon) I have identified two minor tail proteins before the lysis cassette and three after . This would be a 4th and last minor tail after the lysis cassette |

I think this has to be a minor tail protein; otherwise there won't be enough proteins to make up the tail tip. |
