Description
This gene is part of the bacteriophage M13 genome. It encodes a protein that is presented with p9 to initiate phage assembly at the blunt end of the phage coat. Approximately 5 copies of each protein are presented on mature phage. Without p9 or p7, no phage is produced. p7 is one of the smallest ribosomally translated proteins with described function. It is hydrophobic and the N-terminus is negatively charged, suggesting a C-terminus inside orientation.
Notes
stop codon overlaps with p9 start codon in M13 genome.
