Description | Proteins in this entry may be the encapsulin shell protein in a type 4 A-domain encapsulin nanocompartment system. Its cargo may be upstream glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [ ]. It has been shown that bacterial/archaeal encapsulin-like systems and HK97-type viruses share a common ancestor and it is likely that encapsulins have evolved from HK97-type phages. | Name | Putative type 4B encapsulin shell protein superfamily |
Short Name | ENCP4_sf | Type | Homologous_superfamily |
