The tailed bacteriophage φ29 has 12 “appendages” (gene product 12, gp12) attached to its neck region that participate in host cell recognition and entry. In the cell, monomeric gp12 undergoes proteolytic processing that releases the C-terminal domain during assembly into trimers. We report here crystal structures of the protein before and after catalytic processing and show that the C-terminal domain of gp12 is an “auto-chaperone” that aids trimerization. We also show that auto-cleavage of the C-terminal domain is a post-trimerization event that is followed by a unique ATP-dependent release. The post-translationally modified N-terminal part has three domains that function to attach the appendages to the phage, digest the cell wall teichoic acids and bind irreversibly to the host, respectively. Structural and sequence comparisons suggest that some eukaryotic and bacterial viruses as well as bacterial adhesins might have similar maturation mechanism as is performed by φ29 gp12 for Bacillus subtilis.
