Many large viruses, including tailed dsDNA bacteriophages and herpesviruses, assemble their capsids via formation of precursors, called procapsids or proheads. The prohead has an internal core, made of scaffolding proteins, and an outer shell, formed by the major capsid protein. The prohead usually contains a protease which is activated during capsid maturation to destroy the inner core and liberate space for the genome. Here we report a 2.0 Å-resolution structure of the pentameric procapsid protease of bacteriophage T4, gene product (gp)21. The structure corresponds to the enzyme’s pre-active state in which its N-terminal region blocks the catalytic center, demonstrating that the activation mechanism involves self-cleavage of nine N-terminal residues. We describe similarities and differences between T4 gp21 and related herpesvirus proteases. We found that gp21 and the herpesvirus proteases have similarity with proteins forming the tubes of phage tails and bacterial type VI secretion systems, suggesting their common evolutionary origin. Fokine and Rossmann present the structure of the bacteriophage T4 capsid assembly protease, revealing that phage and herpesvirus proteases have similar folds but different activation mechanisms. The structure suggests that these proteases share common evolutionary origin with proteins forming the tubes of phage tails and bacterial type VI secretion systems.
