Dit Protein, Bacillus phage SPP1

The Dit protein is an important component that forms a 40 Å wide channel distal to the tail in its homohexameric structure. This unique channel structure plays a crucial role in cellular processes and may facilitate DNA ejection. Dit Protein, Bacillus phage SPP1 is the recombinant Dit protein, expressed by E. coli , with tag free. The total length of Dit Protein, Bacillus phage SPP1 is 140 a.a., .

The Dit (Distal tail protein) is a homohexameric protein that plays a crucial role in viral DNA ejection. It forms a 40 Angstroms wide channel located at the distal tip of the viral tail. Remarkably, even after the DNA ejection process, Dit remains associated with the tail structure. This implies that the protein's structural features contribute to the stability and functionality of the viral tail. The homohexameric nature of Dit suggests a coordinated and efficient mechanism, possibly aiding in the controlled release of genetic material during the viral life cycle.
