abstract = {Technological advances in cryo-EM in recent years have
given rise to detailed atomic structures of bacteriophage
tail tubes—a class of filamentous protein assemblies that
could previously only be studied on the atomic scale in
either their monomeric form or when packed within a crystal
lattice. These hollow elongated protein structures, present
in most bacteriophages of the order Caudovirales, connect
the DNA-containing capsid with a receptor function at the
distal end of the tail and consist of helical and
polymerized major tail proteins. However, the resolution of
cryo-EM data for these systems differs enormously between
different tail tube types, partly inhibiting the building of
high-fidelity models and barring a combination with further
structural biology methods. Here, we review the structural
biology efforts within this field and highlight the role of
integrative structural biology approaches that have proved
successful for some of these systems. Finally, we summarize
the structural elements of major tail proteins and
conceptualize how different amounts of tail tube flexibility
confer heterogeneity within cryo-EM maps and, thus, limit
high-resolution reconstructions.},
