FUNCTIONForms the portal vertex of the capsid. This portal plays critical roles in head assembly, genome packaging, neck/tail attachment, and genome ejection. The portal protein multimerizes as a single ring-shaped homododecamer arranged around a central channel. Binds to the terminase subunits to form the packaging machine.
SUBUNITHomododecamer. Interacts with the large terminase subunit. Interacts with the major capsid protein. Interacts with the capsid vertex protein.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONVirion. Note=Located at a unique 5-fold vertex of the icosahedral capsid.
SIMILARITYBelongs to the Tevenvirinae portal protein family.
