Bacteriophage portal proteins form a dodecamer and is located at a five-fold vertex of the viral capsid. The portal complex forms a channel through which the viral DNA is packaged into the capsid, and exits during infection. The portal protein is though to rotate during DNA packaging [1]. Portal proteins from different phage show little sequence homology, so this family does not represent all portal proteins. [1]. 11839289. DNA packaging: a new class of molecular motors..

phage portal protein

This HMM represents one of several distantly related families of phage portal protein. This protein forms a hole, or portal, that enables DNA passage during packaging and ejection. It also forms the junction between the phage head (capsid) and the tail proteins. It functions as a dodecamer of a single polypeptide of average mol. wt. of 40-90 KDa.
