  • whisker protein; gp wac; structural virion protein; in bacteriophage T4 and related viruses, the virion is composed of head and tail components; after DNA packaging, gp13, gp14, and six trimers of fibritin bind to the portal vertex of the head, forming the neck and whiskers; fibritin is also a chaperone and facilitates attachment of long tail fibers to the baseplate of the tail
