Genome map Supplementary Figure 1: Epsilon 15 genome and identified protein products. The genome of Epsilon 15 (accession #NC_004775) is 39671 bp and contains 49 predicted open reading frames (orfs). Six Epsilon 15 virion structural proteins were matched to orfs by mass spectrometric peptide mapping of trypsin digested phage proteins separated by SDS-PAGE, represented by the blue boxes in the genome map. Other genes were identified by homology to sequences of known function. The left end of the genome encodes the virion structural proteins with a gene order typical of “lambdoid” phages (Hendrix et al, Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 96, 2192 -7, 1999). This gene module begins with the small and large terminase subunits, followed by the portal, scaffold, and capsid genes. The products of orfs 15 and 17 are found in virions and are likely candidates for the core and/or tail hub. The Epsilon 15 tailspike gene is located further downstream, near the genes for serotype conversion. A similar arrangement is seen in the bacteriophage P 22 tailspike gene. This clustering of tailspike is likely functional since the serotype conversion genes modify those O-antigens which are recognized by the tailspikes during infection. At the sequence level, the structural proteins most closely resemble the Bcep phages (NC_005887) of Burkholderia bacteria, a human pathogen affecting cystic fibrosis patients.

Virus particles were boiled in SDS-PAGE sample buffer for 3 minutes and sonicated to reduce viscosity of released phage DNA. Samples were electrophoresed through 10% acrylamide gels and protein bands visualized by Coomassie staining. Individual bands were excised and trypsinized. The peptide mixture of these digested protein samples were separated by mass spectrometry and their masses correlated with a conceptual digest of translated Epsilon 15 reading frames. The bands and their corresponding gene products are indicated. The faint band assigned to gp 16 is tentative since the band position corresponds to larger mass than expected. gp 7* and gp 7** may correspond to the degradation and cross-linked products of gp 7. gp 15 and/or gp 17 are likely components in the tail hub based on the genome locations with reference to other phages 15.
A B Supplementary Figure 3: Resolution evaluation using Fourier Shell Correlation. The complete data set were divided evenly into two halves and 3 -D reconstructions were generated from each of the half datasets. Fourier Shell Correlation between the two reconstructions were used to evaluate the effective resolution of the 3 -D density map using the 0. 5 threshold.

Top view of the tailspikes exhibits 3 -fold symmetry. Structures of most tailspikes except tailspike 3 (the central knob and one of the petals close to the label *) are very similar.

The 7 subunits in an asymmetric unit were individually annotated with different colors.
