Two major capsid proteins!!

debbie	Simon White’s cryo EMs of mycobacteriophage Rosebush show that the MuF-like minor capsid is NOT part of the capsid. (SO do not call it.) He did find 2 different capsid proteins in RoseBush, one that makes the hexamer (gp 15) and one that makes the pentamer (gp16). These two capsid proteins are in all of the Cluster B genomes. See the SEA-PHAGES Functional Assignment Sheet for correct naming. Edited 06 Apr, 2022 17:42
