Unfortunately, the original article was published with an incorrect figure. Figure 11 contains errors and needs to be withdrawn. The following sentences shall be removed: The M4 tail is similar to that of T4, and therefore, the T4 tail tube protein model (PDB ID: 5NXF) was obtained from PDB and fitted into the tail tube of the reconstructed M4 tail map. The protein model and the map are shown in Fig. 11a and b, respectively, and the map containing the fitted protein model is shown in Fig. 11c.

The figure legend of Fig. 12 (a) should read as:

Crystal structure model of the T4 phage gp6 molecule.
