products description :
The display of repertoires of antibody fragments on the surface of filamentous phage offers a new way to produce immunoreagents with defined specificities. Phage derived antibody fragments offer a number of advantages over mouse monoclonal antibodies, such as better clearance from the blood, the possibility to select from human combinatorial libraries and the relative ease by which such fragments can be manipulated. The phage display technique thus facilitates the selection of antibody fragments of therapeutic value or research interest. Antibodies to M13 filamentous phage coat proteins are instrumental in the selection and detection of phages expressing specific antibody fragments or peptide sequences at their surface.

uniprot summary :
Function: Plays essential roles both in the entry of the viral genome into the bacterial host and in the budding process. During the initial step of infection, G3P mediates adsorption of the phage to its primary receptor, the tip of host F-pilus. Subsequent interaction with the host coreceptor tolA induces injection of the viral DNA into the host cytoplasm. In the budding process, G3P mediates the release of the membrane-anchored virion from the cell via its C-terminal domain. Subunit structure: Interacts with G6P; this interaction is required for proper integration of G3P and G6P into the virion. Interacts with G8P . By similarity. Interacts with host tolA . By similarity. Ref.2. Subcellular location: Virion. Host membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein . Potential. Note: Prior to assembly, G3P is found associated with the bacterial host inner membrane. There are about five copies of this protein per mature phage that are located on the head side of the filamentous virion. Domain: Consists of three domains (N1, N2, and CT). The N2 domain interacts with the F pilus, whereas the N1 domain forms a complex with the C-terminal domain of tolA at later stages of the infection process. N1 is connected to N2 by a flexible glycine-rich linker on the phage. The C-terminal domain is required for release of viral particles from the host bacterial membrane and proper integration of G3P and G6P proteins in the virion. Post-translational modification: In one of the crystallographic structures Trp-39 is oxidized to 1',2'-dihydro-2'-oxotryptophan (Ref.3). Sequence similarities: Belongs to the inovirus G3P protein family.
