Term Information

Accession
GO:0099001
Name
viral genome ejection through host cell envelope, long flexible tail mechanism
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
viral long flexible tail ejection system
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Ejection by a non-enveloped prokaryotic virus of its genome into the host cytoplasm via a long, flexible tail ejection system consisting a baseplate, a central tube and a terminator complex which attaches the tail to the phage capsid. Upon binding to the host cell surface, the baseplate changes its conformation and triggers genome ejection into the host cell cytoplasm. Source: GOC:dos, VZ:3952, PMID:22297512
