Description
This gene is part of the bacteriophage M13 genome. It encodes a protein that is presented with p7 to initiate phage assembly at the blunt end of the phage coat. Approximately 5 copies of each protein are presented on mature phage. In the absence of p9 or p7, no phage is produced. p9 is one of the smallest ribosomally translated proteins with described function. N-terminal display is possible, and some positively charged residues are seen at the C-terminal end of the protein, suggesting a "C-terminus inside" orientation.
Notes
start codon overlaps with stop codon of g7 upstream and
stop codon overlaps with start codon of g8 downstream.
