From: High-resolution cryo-EM structure of the Pseudomonas bacteriophage E217
a Schematic representation of E217 infecting P.aeruginosa. Four proposed steps of infection are shown. Each step is accompanied by distinct conformations of the tail fibers and conformational changes in the baseplate, shown in the bottom panels. b Diagram of the E217 baseplate (viewed from the bottom) in the extended (left) and contracted (right) conformations, emphasizing the position of gp44-a pin domain. Tail fibers are colored in purple: light and dark purple represent tail fibers projecting below and above the plane. The images were created with BioRender.com.
