Inj_translocase is a family of putative phage translocases that are involved in the injectosome mechanism. Phage P22 of Salmonella typhimurium ejects four proteins, gp7, gp16, gp20 and gp26, which are ejected from the phage virion into the bacterial cell after absorption. These four proteins may play a role in DNA ejection [1,2,3]. [1]. 8464750. Sequence of a DNA injection gene from Salmonella typhimurium phage P22. Adhikari P, Berget PB;.
