AC MF_04115; DC Protein; auto TR HAMAP; MF_04115; -; 1; level=0 XX Names: SOC_T4 XX ID SOC DE RecName: Full=Small outer capsid protein; DE Short=Soc; XX CC -!- FUNCTION: Capsid decoration protein which helps to stabilize the capsid CC against extremes of pH and temperature. Once maturation and expansion CC of the capsid has occured, trimers of soc attach the interfaces between CC the hexamer of the major capsid protein. Acts as a 'glue' between CC neighboring hexameric capsomers. Dispensable for the head morphogenesis CC and phage infection. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Homotrimer. Interacts with the major capsid protein; three soc CC molecules associate with each interface between the major capsid CC protein facets. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Virion. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Tevenvirinae Soc family.
