Gp33 protein

Gp33 protein (gene 33 product, T4 late transcription coactivator, UniProt P13338): 112-aa bacteriophage T4 protein binding RNAP beta-flap and gp45 sliding clamp, coactivating and repressing late transcription; distinct from phiKMV, SPP1, SPO1, and GPCMV gp33 proteins.

Gp37/putative cytoplasmic protein STM4215

Gp37, also annotated as the putative cytoplasmic protein STM4215, is a Salmonella typhimurium protein encoded in a prophage region and proposed to be a Myoviridae tail tube terminator protein.

Gp41

Gp41 is the name of several unrelated viral proteins, chiefly the HIV-1 envelope fusion protein that lets HIV and SIV enter cells, also used for SPO1 phage and baculovirus proteins.

Gp42

Gp42 (gene product 42) is a phage gene numbering label, not one protein: it names unrelated products such as Remus tail protein, phiCbK portal protein, Mu tape measure protein, Ar-KM ejection protein, LUZ19 terminase subunit, and MooMoo repressor.

Gp53

Gp53 is a phage gene-product number reused across unrelated bacteriophages: lysin B in Marvin, transcription factor in ΦPA1019, major tail protein in 80α, endolysin in Phi11, ChmA in ΦPA3.

Gp68-like predicted RNA polymerase component

Gp68-like predicted RNA polymerase component: gp68, the fifth sigma-factor-like subunit of the bacteriophage PhiKZ non-virion RNA polymerase, required for enzyme assembly and DNA binding, with homologs in phiKZ-group phages and AR9 gp226.

Gp73

Gp73, written GP73 and encoded by the GOLM1 (GOLPH2) gene, is a human Golgi membrane protein of 400 amino acids studied as a liver-disease biomarker; in bacteriophages, gp73 names unrelated gene-73 products.

Gp82

Gp82, or gene product 82, names several phage proteins; best known is Phaedrus gp82, a cytotoxic mycobacteriophage protein with base and wing domains that inhibits M. smegmatis growth by binding and reducing the host ATPase MoxR.

Gp85

Gp85 (PhiKZ_gp85, PHIKZ_p85) is the vertex-binding protein of jumbo phage phiKZ of Pseudomonas aeruginosa; a homodimer that, with gp28 and gp119, stabilizes the capsid vertex. Distinct from gp85 genes in phages Bxb1 and Drago.

GPC3

GPC3 (glypican 3, OCI-5, MXR7, SGBS1) is an Xq26.2 gene encoding a GPI-anchored heparan sulfate proteoglycan that inhibits hedgehog signaling; loss causes Simpson-Golabi-Behmel overgrowth syndrome, and re-expression marks hepatocellular carcinoma, where GPC3 is a biomarker and immunotherapy target.
