During the late stages of λ bacteriophage assembly, the protein gpU terminates tail polymerization and participates at the interface between the mature capsid and tail components. When it engages the lambda tail, gpU undergoes a monomer–hexamer transition to achieve its biologically active form. Towards understanding how gpU participates in multiple protein–protein interactions, we have solved the...
