Predicted tertiary structure of ΦcrAss001 major capsid protein (MCP). a Homology-based modelling of aa 176405 fragment of ΦcrAss001 MCP. A-domain, axial domain; P-domain, peripheral domain; N-terminal domain and E-loop could not be resolved due to lack of similarity with the used template; colour gradient reflects aa position in the sequence (blue to green to red from N terminus to C terminus). b Staphylococcus phage 812 MCP (PDB 5LII [https://www.rcsb.org/structure/5LII]40) used as template in HHPred-MODELLER suit (HHPred probability score 96.87%, e-value 0.00081). c Superposition of φcrAss001 MCP model (red) with p-crAssphage (green) and IAS virus (blue) MCP models (probability scores against PDB 5LII [https://www.rcsb.org/structure/5LII] 99.37, 96.89%, e-values 4e-14, 0.00063, respectively)
