Rossmann Structural and functional similarities between the capsid proteins of bacteriophages T4 and HK97 point to a common ancestry Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 102 2005 7163 7168 The X-ray structure of the pentameric vertex protein of phage T4 revealed a fold similar to that previously determined for lambdoid phage HK97 coat protein. Sequence similarity to the hexameric T4 coat protein also confirmed the presence of such a fold in the shell-forming protein. These data support the hypothesis that all tailed icosahedral dsDNA phages share a similar coat protein fold (and assembly principles).

Dissecting the EM structure of the capsid of herpesvirus revealed a shell-forming domain, with a fold resembling that of several dsDNA tailed bacteriophages. This is the first structural demonstration that a proposed viral dsDNA 'tailed-phage' lineage may have a member that infects eukaryotic hosts.
