| PF05926 | Phage head completion protein (GPL) | family |
This family consists of several phage head completion protein (GPL) as well as related bacterial sequences. Members of this family allow the completion of filled heads by rendering newly packaged DNA in the heads resistant to DNase. The protein is thought to bind to DNA filled capsids [1].
