viral genome ejection through host cell envelope, short tail mechanism
Ontology

Synonyms
viral short tail ejection system
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Ejection by a non-enveloped prokaryotic virus of its genome into the host cytoplasm via a short tail ejection system consisting a central tube, the connector which attaches the tail to the phage capsid and releases inner core proteins. Upon binding to the host cell surface, the phage displays a tube-like extension of its short tail that penetrates both host membranes. This tail extension comes from the release of viral core proteins with channel forming properties. Source: VZ:3954, GOC:dos, PMID:22297513
