Term Information

Accession
GO:0098002
Name
receptor-mediated bacteriophage irreversible attachment to host cell
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
irreversible bacteriophage attachment, binding of host cell surface receptor, phage irreversible adsorption
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The processes by which a bacteriophage initially commits to infection by binding the host receptor irreversibly. Disruption of the phage:cell complex at this step results in the loss of infective phage virions since the process is characterized by conformational changes of bacteriophage head and tail proteins and injection of bacteriophage proteins into the infected cell.
