Corgi gp19 and 20 HHPred hit the same domain of the crystal structure of Mycobacteriophage Pukovinik (gp37) excise. Call this a helix-turn-helix DNA binding protein because that is the domain that it hits.

The 4 genes between capsid and tape measure (Corgi gp 8-11) include (in this order) head-to-tail adaptor, head-to-tail stopper, major tail, hypothetical protein. the hypothetical protein in these genomes hits HK97 gp10. Bob Duda of the Hendrix lab (who extensively has studied the structural genes of HK97) agrees the function of this gene, though structural, is unknown.

No tail assembly chaperones have been found….yet.

The cpapsid is fused to the capsid maturation protease (gp7 in Corgi).

When you come across the gene that hits IrrE in these genomes Example: Richie gp53(reverse), you will find that the domain that these genes share with IrrE is the 'helix-turn-helix DNA binding domain'.

The 6 genomes that we reviewed today *Auxilium, Hestia, Richie, SeaHorse, Faja, and Isolde all have a small terminase subunit. The large terminase subunit, except for Hestia, is split into 2 gene products: "terminase, large subunit (ATPase domain)" and "terminase, large subunit (nulcease domain)".

While further investigation may yield a more specific designation, the gene products that match Lambda repressor C1 are called "helix-turn-helix DNA binding proteins". Example: Auxilium gp49(reverse) & gp50 (forward).

I just looked at the genome of KandZ (Cluster D1). There is a VIP2 gene in that area in other phage genomes (Troll4_gp7). For reasons I have not yet investigated, gene 6 and 7 (in most of these genomes) are in the same pham (4561). But only the second gene hits VIP2 in HHPred. In addition, that second gene can be in a different pham (5921)that is not a VIP2. This true in KandZ. (posted 8-15-1smile
